Plagiarism
1. Plagiarism, which can be defined as using without acknowledgement another person’s
words or ideas and submitting them for assessment as though it were one’s own work,
for instance by copying, translating from one language to another or unacknowledged
paraphrasing. Further examples of plagiarism are given below:
Use of any quotation(s) from the published or unpublished work of other persons,
whether published in textbooks, articles, the Web, or in any other format, which
quotations have not been clearly identified as such by being placed in quotation marks
and acknowledged.
Use of another person’s words or ideas that have been slightly changed or paraphrased
to make it look different from the original.
Summarising another person’s ideas, judgments, diagrams, figures, or computer
programmes without reference to that person in the text and the source in a bibliography
or reference list.
Use of services of essay banks and/or any other agencies.
Use of unacknowledged material downloaded from the Internet.
Re-use of one’s own material except as authorised by the department.
2. Collusion, which can be defined as when work that has been undertaken by or with others
is submitted and passed off as solely as the work of one person. This also applies where
the work of one candidate is submitted in the name of another. Where this is done with
the knowledge of the originator both parties can be considered to be at fault.
3. Fabrication of data, making false claims to have carried out experiments, observations,
interviews or other forms of data collection and analysis, or acting dishonestly in any
other way.
Plagiarism Detection Software (PDS)
As part of its commitment to quality and the maintenance of academic standards, the University
reserves the right to use Plagiarism Detection Software (PDS), including Turnitin. Such software
makes no judgment as to whether a piece of work has been plagiarised; it simply highlights
sections of text that have been found in other sources.
The use of plagiarism detection software fulfills two functions. The first is to enhance student
learning (i.e. as a developmental tool); the second is to guard against and identify unfair practice
in assessment.
Further information and guidance can be found in the University’s policy on the Use of Plagiarism
Detection Software.
