| Plagiarism represents a breach of academic integrity and represents misconduct under the University’s Policy and Procedure. Notre Dame defines ‘plagiarism’ as: - Representing as one’s own original work (without appropriate acknowledgement) the ideas, interpretations, words or creative works of another; this includes works in print and electronic media, published and unpublished documents, designs, music, sounds, images, photographs, computer codes; the use of paraphrasing tools or other software services to disguise or avoid plagiarism. Plagiarism is a breach of academic integrity and, if proven, makes the student liable for disciplinary action. Plagiarism can include, but is not limited to: - Plagiarism of ideas – claiming credit for someone else’s thoughts, ideas or inventions. - Word-for-word plagiarism – copying the exact, or close to exact, words/expression of someone’s writing. - Plagiarism of sources – using another person’s citations of the references they have used without acknowledging the source of the citations. - Plagiarism of authorship – where a person claims to be the author of an entire piece of work (e.g. an article, an essay, a book, a musical composition) fully or substantially authored by another. Examples include when a student submits as their own work an essay written by someone else. Translating an article from another language and publishing it under your name, as if you had written it. - Plagiarism of data – using data generated by someone else and representing it as your own, for example in a research project or scientific experiment. - Plagiarising images – using images (still or moving) created by someone else and representing them as your own. This includes images used to document your own processes and experiments. |
