Abstract

Creativity is built on the mind of mutual inheritance and inquiry. There is no opinion, thought, or hypothesis created without the reference and basis of those with prior experience. Therefore, plagiarism is a wrongdoing that frequently occurs in universities in Vietnam and the world and is essential for creative activities. However, an important issue is that the perception of students, lecturers, and universities in Vietnam today still has some deviations in terms of rationality, infringement, and the proper form of referencing and citation. This leads to unclear regulations, lack of compliance of wrongdoers and profound negative influence onacademic integrity. Based on methods of the questionnaire, doctrinal and comparison research, this article will evaluate citation and referencing activities in Vietnam universities in reference to other universities in the world.
