PlagiarismContents:What is plagiarism?It can be difficult to be certain of what actually constitutes plagiarism - the whole area appears fraught with contradiction. On one hand students are advised to read, refer to, evaluate and therefore borrow the ideas of others; yet if they are not very careful, they risk being accused of academic dishonesty. Students are also encouraged to embrace the concept of team working by undertaking group projects and activities, BUT without collusion! No wonder plagiarism has become such a focus of anxiety for the student population. The Student Handbook provides a definition and context for how the University views and provides support for avoiding plagiarism in your academic writing. University regulations Section E, Regulations For The Assessment of Students on Taught Programmes of Study provides further definitions of what constitutes plagiarism. Where can I find more information?The University's guide to Citing References tells you how to acknowledge other people's work using the Harvard Referencing System. The Copyright Compliance web page helps you to ensure that you are also working within the copyright regulations. The JISC Plagiarism Advisory Service For information on further activities see the Academic Skills Community on myBU (Plagiarism section).
