Abstract

ABSTRACT The purpose of the current study was to explore how effectively journal author guides communicate with graduate students learning English as a foreign language (EFL) in Taiwan. A 10-item three-tier test was developed to explore the participants’ (1) confidence level in their reading comprehension of excerpts from author guides, (2) their actual comprehension, and (3) their understanding, if any. The test consisted of 10 excerpts from author guides that covered a variety of topics related to plagiarism. The test was administered to 46 EFL graduate students. The findings revealed that the selected excerpts from the author guides caused confusion, which led to misunderstanding by the readers. Among the 10 types of plagiarism, citation issues and copying of methods sections were the the most understood, whereas self-plagiarism was the least understood type.

期刊作者指南如何有效地沟通有关抄袭的问题?台湾研究生的研究

摘要本研究旨在探讨期刊作者指南如何有效地与台湾学习英语的研究生沟通。我们设计了一个包含10个项目的三层测试来考察参与者(1)对作者指南节选的阅读理解的信心水平，(2)他们的实际理解，(3)他们的理解(如果有的话)。该测试包括从作者指南中摘录的10个段落，涵盖了与抄袭有关的各种主题。测试对象为46名英语研究生。调查结果显示，作者指南中的选段引起了混淆，从而导致读者的误解。在10种类型的抄袭中，引文问题和复制方法部分是最容易理解的，而自我抄袭是最不容易理解的。

期刊介绍： Accounts of Chemical Research presents short, concise and critical articles offering easy-to-read overviews of basic research and applications in all areas of chemistry and biochemistry. These short reviews focus on research from the author’s own laboratory and are designed to teach the reader about a research project. In addition, Accounts of Chemical Research publishes commentaries that give an informed opinion on a current research problem. Special Issues online are devoted to a single topic of unusual activity and significance. Accounts of Chemical Research replaces the traditional article abstract with an article "Conspectus." These entries synopsize the research affording the reader a closer look at the content and significance of an article. Through this provision of a more detailed description of the article contents, the Conspectus enhances the article's discoverability by search engines and the exposure for the research.
