Plagiarism Policy

Definition of plagiarism

“Plagiarism is:
– the copying of someone else’s creative work and presenting it as one’s own;
– the collecting of extracts of text, images, data etc. from external sources and including them in one’s own work without proper citation;
– summarising an author’s original idea and formulating it in one’s own words without citing the source.

Plagiarism is not only dishonest, but is an offence which can lead to sanctions.”

Problems and risks

Plagiarism undermines the moral and proprietary rights of the author. It demonstrates a lack of personal reflection and a lack of commitment to academic work.
