| Summary: | In today's world, where information is easily accessible and shared, academic integrity is crucial for maintaining the credibility of educational systems. However, new challenges, such as dealing with plagiarism and self-plagiarism, have made it harder to verify the originality of academic work, especially for doctoral research. Although anti-plagiarism software has been developed to help detect copied content, there are debates about the usefulness and accuracy of these tools. While anti-plagiarism programs are valuable tools, they should be used in conjunction with expert human judgment to ensure that plagiarism is detected accurately. The process of withdrawing a doctoral degree should be carefully considered and only applied in cases of serious misconduct. This paper argues for a balanced approach to verifying academic integrity, where technology supports human expertise, and the focus is on education and promoting ethical research practices. As self-plagiarism becomes a more significant issue, it's important that regulations evolve to address it, ensuring the continued trustworthiness and credibility of academic research. |
