SCIENTIFIC PRODUCTION ON PLAGIARISM INDEXED IN LIBRARY DATABASE AND INFORMATION SCIENCE ABSTRACTS (LISA)

In this work we propose to reflect on the international scientific production related to the subject of plagiarism in the area of Information Science. This is a quantitative and exploratory research that analyzed scientific articles in the area of Information Science indexed in the Library and Information Science Abstracts (LISA) database. The corpus of analysis was composed of 351 scientific articles on the subject. As a result, there is a concentration of articles on plagiarism from the 2000s; the main topics covered in the publications refer to copyright; the keyword plagiarism is mainly associated with the themes 'ethic', 'detection-tion', 'user training' and 'information literacy'. The most prominent journal is the Journal of Information Ethics (JTE) and the predominant language is English. The international scientific production of Information Science on plagiarism turns to several questions, highlighting studies that attribute to the librarian and educators the responsibility in the formation o students committed to scientific integration. It is important that in Brazil there is also this concern in the scientific production of the area of Information Science.
