The prevention of plagiarism
Inalco's management has acted on the deployment of plagiarism detection software COMPILATIO for all teacher-researchers. Using this tool, it will be possible to quickly identify "copied-pasted" passages in every document submitted by students and their likely sources on the web.

The Guide pour le recueil et le traitement des signalements relatifs à l'intégrité scientifique
The national network of scientific integrity referents (RESINT) has published its "Guide-pour-le-recueil-et-le-traitement-des-signalements-relatifs à L'intégrité scientifique ". The Ofis, which accompanies and supports the scientific community in promoting good practice in scientific integrity, is today relaying the release of this guide.
Developed by RESINT's "Procedures" working group, this guide has 2 objectives:
- to help each referent implement, in his or her establishment or organization, a procedure for responding to reports of breaches of scientific integrity in line with good practice in this field;
- to facilitate cooperation between referents.
The guide thus offers a series of recommendations, in line with the main official sources, designed to help each establishment or organization establish procedures tailored to its needs. It will evolve in line with feedback shared by RESINT members.
