The PlagStop.nrw project has developed ten digital self-study modules to prevent plagiarism in student work. The learning objectives of the modules are the acquisition of basic knowledge in the field of scientific work and basic knowledge of plagiarism prevention. Although the modules are designed in a logical thematic order, they can be used individually or in a different order. This self-study module covers the following topics: - What is science? - Academic writing in the context of higher education - Quality criteria for academic work and good academic practice - Differences between qualitative and quantitative research
