Ethics Focus: Plagiarism
Date: 10 September 2025, 13:00–14:30 (Lithuanian time)
Speaker: Didi Peng
About the webinar: A researcher’s career is built on their ideas and contributions to the scholarly record. Therefore, giving proper credit to the original source or creator is vital in academic publishing. When this principle is violated, plagiarism occurs, which may have serious consequences. Plagiarism is one of the most common forms of research misconduct and can take many different shapes. Yet, there is no single global definition of plagiarism, leaving researchers and authors uncertain about what counts as plagiarism versus what is acceptable similarity under publishing ethics standards. This is particularly relevant in cases of text recycling (self-plagiarism), when researchers reuse their own previous work. This session will cover: how plagiarism is defined in Taylor & Francis journals and the most common types encountered; where plagiarism is not considered to occur and what the “grey areas” are (e.g. text recycling); how plagiarism is detected and what happens when it is found; practical tips on how to avoid plagiarism and the importance of correct citation practices.

Speaker: Bethany Farr
About the webinar: This webinar will explore how to effectively use social media to increase the visibility of your research and build a credible academic profile. In today’s rapidly changing digital environment – with the emergence of decentralised platforms such as Bluesky and significant shifts in established social media networks – researchers are facing both new opportunities and new challenges in disseminating their work. This session will discuss: responsible use of social media in research communication; strengthening your academic profile and professional network; engaging with diverse audiences; strategies for effective communication, the implications of platform changes, and practical advice on navigating the digital landscape with confidence and integrity.
