Academic honesty and plagiarism
Plagiarism means imitating or copying someone else’s work and presenting it as your own.
In academic writing it is important to cite your sources. It should be clear to the reader which words and ideas are your own and what comes from other sources. Quotes should be marked using quotation marks and all sources should be referenced.
