摘要：

This article deals with the problem of text plagiarism in the university sector. As a complement to theoretical considerations, an empirical study on plagiarism among 72 university teachers and more than 600 students was conducted. The article first discusses the conditions for the existence of text plagiarism. These statements are followed by an analysis of possible causes of plagiarism. The analysis is mainly based on the results of the empirical study. The fourth section is devoted to strategies for the prevention of plagiarism, which can be differentiated into education measures and measures of deterrence. The effectiveness of the presented strategies is verified by the results of the empirical study. Overall, it is obvious that both university teachers and students are quite aware of the plagiarism issue.
