From the article:
Comprehensive training for scientific and academic writing should be instituted in higher education institutions in Rwanda and across Africa to promote the importance of academic integrity in scholarly work, improve students’ ability to apply skills to avoid plagiarism, and increase opportunities for publication.
This emerged from a 13 April study titled ‘Assessing Knowledge of and Attitudes Towards Plagiarism and Ability to Recognise Plagiaristic Writing Among University Students in Rwanda’, published in the Journal of Higher Education.
