Academic integrity is a set of rules, values, moral and other responsibilities on which that community rests, which define the relationship of members of the academic community towards work, the community itself and its members. There are different ways to violate the norms of academic integrity, and one of them is plagiarism. Plagiarism means the unauthorized taking of someone else's work or any form of dishonesty and falsification at any stage of research with the aim of achieving some result and/or taking credit for it. Plagiarism can occur at all levels of education, and the digital age has made it more widespread and easier to conceal. One of the ways in which plagiarism is tried to be eradicated from higher education is the introduction of the possibility of using anti-plagiarism software at all Croatian universities. Anti-plagiarism software are useful tools for eventual verification of the correctness of citations, but the literature shows that plagiarism and academic misconduct are broader problems that require systematic work. The shortcoming of these tools is manifested in the failure to recognize different types of plagiarism, the possibility of plagiarizing texts that are not found in internet databases, and the lack of guidelines for improving academic writing skills, therefore they are not a suitable way to learn and acquire academic writing skills and do not necessarily act as a preventive measure against the occurrence of plagiarism. Attitudes about anti-plagiarism software, experiences of using it and understanding of the concept of academic integrity were examined among undergraduate and graduate students of pedagogy at the Faculty of Humanities and Social Sciences in Split. Despite the generally positive attitude towards the mentioned tools, students still have not introduced them to regular use and show a mediocre understanding of the concepts of plagiarism and academic integrity.
