Abstract

TIMAL LOPEZ, Sandra  and  SANCHEZ ESPINOZA, Francisco. Plagiarism in the context of the author’s copyright. Tla-melaua [online]. 2017, vol.11, n.42, pp.48-66. ISSN 2594-0716.

Plagiarism in the field of research is frequent. It is an unfair action that infringes on the author’s property rights (copyright). However, the framework in which this practice unfolds lacks sanctions against the violation of the moral right that is infringed to the work of any author. Protecting the moral right and not only the patrimonial of the creator of a work, specifically in a thesis, is the objective of the present investigation.

Keywords : Author; copyright; moral right; patrimonial right; originality; plagiarism.
