The paper deals with the problem of using borrowings in the research works of students specialized in the Humanities. The authors determine the significance of research for the professional development of modern students and attempt to determine the measures to combat the widespread proliferation of plagiarism in student papers.

The relevance of the study is conditioned by the sharply increased number of academic dishonest acts committed by university students all over the world and the change of their nature due to the use of modern electronic programs and artificial intelligence. The aim of the study is to develop a system of pedagogical prevention of electronic academic dishonesty. This study is of a theoretical nature. The following methods were used: studying of the scientific literature, comparison, generalization, analysis and synthesis. The main results include the following: the conducted analysis of domestic and foreign scientific literature convincingly shows that the phenomenon of academic dishonesty (AD) has a global nature, and racial, national, gender and other factors are not decisive in this case. The statistical data provided by the authors show that the most frequently used measures to combat this pernicious phenomenon (adopting the "Code of Honor", a system of punishment for students including their expulsion, etc.) are ineffective. A special form of AD, namely "electronic academic dishonesty (EAD)" and its types (known at present) are identified, and its potential harmful impact on the developing personalities of university students is described. It is substantiated that EAD can cause more significant harm to the prestige of educational institutions and doubt the quality of training of young specialists, since in the process of using digital technologies for personal gain, students do not activate such important cognitive mechanisms as memory, comprehension, comparison, analysis, logics, highlighting the main idea, etc. The theoretical significance is as follows: the author's definition of EAD is given and its main forms are described; a "pedagogical approach" has been developed for the implementation of pedagogical prevention of EAD, focused on a comprehensive solution to the issues of moral education, achieving "academic integrity", informing students about the norms of academic ethics and increasing their responsibility for their actions; the Russian-language content of the AD is supplemented by the analysis and translation of foreign publications. The practical significance of the study is due to the recommendation of several areas of work for both the faculty and student self-government bodies in order to minimize cases of EAD.
