Editor's Notes
A benchmark tariff for the application of penalties for student plagiarism in higher education – published in June 2010 at the 4th International Plagiarism Conference, Newcastle, UKArose from original request by Baroness Deech, then Independent Adjudicator for HE, to examine the policy and practices of the sector when applying penalties for plagiarism.Tariff was created from responses to survey and based on data already collated from AMBER studies.
http://www.plagiarismadvice.org/documents/AMBeR Tariffv2.pdfTariff available as two page leaflet on PDF from plagiarismadvice.orgUses points based system for different elements involved in judging the severity of case of plagiarism.Bands for penalties were carefully designed to allow for wide range of judgements.
