Description This study summarises an evaluation of the HUMAN framework for instructing healthcare university students in information literacy, specifically focusing on preventing plagiarism. The objective was to impart knowledge to these students regarding proper work practices when utilizing information sources and to improve their motivation needed to deal with the problem of plagiarism. To this end, we developed and provided students with self-study materials, exercises, and a workshop implemented in a classroom with 30 participants. We evaluated the impact of the instruction through an analysis of the outputs generated by the students and a follow-up questionnaire. Results indicated a considerable positive effect of the instruction. While students appreciated the video presentation, they desired additional examples depicting the framework’s application to specific scientific texts.
