As part of the UM6P EthoSphere Forum initiative led by the Policy Office, a workshop titled “Navigating Plagiarism and Upholding Academic Integrity” was held at the University’s Campus in Benguerir to reinforce responsible research practices within UM6P.
The session examined key issues related to plagiarism in academic and research contexts, with the objective of strengthening participants’ understanding of its ethical implications and supporting integrity in scholarly work.
Contributions were delivered by Dr. Khalid El Bairi, Clinical Research Fellow at the Faculty of Medical Sciences, and Zineb Marjane, Project Management Officer at the Center for Teaching Excellence.
Discussions covered types of plagiarism, ethical considerations in research, citation and academic writing practices, and real-world case studies. Participants were also introduced to UM6P’s plagiarism detection tools and received guidance on their appropriate and responsible use.
