Abstract

Plagiarism is a matter of great concern in academic. Especially, colleges and universities which involve homework, exams, credits and degrees, are the hardest hit area for plagiarism. Although it is a common sense about plagiarism for teachers and students that plagiarism is forbidden, a blurred boundary line is always there when plagiarism happens in real cases. In computer science, the problem is more severe as the definition of code plagiarism is more ambiguous and difficult than the text plagiarism. The assignments and projects for computer science students include not only documents, but also codes, which contain variables, functions, comments etc. This research is a case study on the code plagiarism in a programming course. Questionnaires were conducted to get general ideas about code plagiarism from several universities in China. The problems of code plagiarism are discussed in this study. Some thoughts are raised on the measure of the code plagiarism and the strategies from management point of view.

对剽窃的认识调查——以中国代码剽窃为例

剽窃是学术界非常关注的问题。特别是涉及家庭作业、考试、学分和学位的大学，是抄袭的重灾区。虽然禁止抄袭是老师和学生的常识，但在实际发生抄袭时，界限总是模糊的。在计算机科学中，由于代码剽窃的定义比文本剽窃更加模糊和困难，这个问题更加严重。计算机科学专业学生的作业和项目不仅包括文档，还包括代码，其中包含变量、函数、注释等。本研究是对程序设计课程中代码抄袭的个案研究。对国内几所高校的代码抄袭问题进行了问卷调查。本文对代码抄袭问题进行了探讨。从管理的角度对代码抄袭的措施和策略提出了一些思考。
