A quick guide to Academic Integrity
Academic Integrity and Plagiarism
Academic Integrity refers to the honest and ethical manner in which academic work is done, whether it is an assignment, an examination, an oral presentation, or a research project or report. Plagiarism is a key component in academic integrity.
Plagiarism is defined as using other people’s work and/or other sources without giving proper acknowledgement of the sources. Plagiarism also occurs when Generative AI output is used when it is explicitly disallowed in an assessment.
Plagiarism vs. Copyright Infringement
Many students may be confused about these two terms: plagiarism and copyright infringement. This is because many cases of plagiarism are also copyright infringement.
Copyright infringement refers to unauthorised or prohibited use of works covered by copyright law. In simple words, to use another person’s work without permission.
If you submit a photograph taken by someone else, but using your own name, you actually commit both plagiarism and copyright infringement, because you are passing off another person’s work as your own, and at the same time, use the work without seeking that person’s permission.
Check out the guides below to learn more about what is copyright and how to deal with copyright issues in the context of teaching and learning, as well as publishing.
