Plagiarism
A policy against plagiarism is a set of rules and regulations for preventing plagiarism in professional and educational contexts. Plagiarism occurs when someone else's ideas, words, or work are used without giving proper credit to the original author.
Definitions of plagiarism, sanctions for plagiarising, and complaint procedures are all standard fares in such policies. These rules will protect the institution's intellectual honesty, creativity, and morality.
Institutional definitions of plagiarism may vary widely but typically include the following:
- Direct plagiarism is the most egregious form of plagiarism in which an author plagiarises content without changing a single word.
- Plagiarism in the form of paraphrasing is restating someone else's words and ideas without citing the source or making any significant changes to them.
- Self-plagiarism refers to the submission of one's own previously unacknowledged or unconsented-to work, in whole or in part.
- Collaboration with others to submit the same or substantially comparable work under multiple names is also a form of plagiarism.
