PLAGIARISM Dr Cordelia Beattie School Academic Misconduct Officer

Plagiarism is a SERIOUS ACADEMIC OFFENCE and can have serious consequences for your studies.

Plagiarism is a form of cheating and is contrary to the principles of academic study. It is regarded by the University of Edinburgh as academic misconduct and is a punishable offence under the University’s Code of Discipline

Plagiarism Ignorance is not a defence in cases of suspected plagiarism. It is therefore very important that all students understand what plagiarism is and take steps to avoid it.

Your dissertation is a major part of your degree and it is vital that you avoid any academic misconduct in the process…

What is plagiarism?

Plagiarism is the act of including in one’s work the work of another person without providing adequate acknowledgement of having done so, either deliberately or unintentionally.

Plagiarism example Including in your work extracts from another person’s work without using quotation marks and acknowledging of the source. (The source might be a book, another research paper, a website, another student’s work, comments or notes from a member of staff, data, or pictures.)

Plagiarism example Cutting and pasting from electronic sources without explicit acknowledgement of the URL and the author, and without explicitly marking the pasted text in inverted commas, or labelling the source of the diagram or illustration.

Plagiarism The inclusion of large amounts of pasted material, even if acknowledged, always raises doubts about how much of the work presented should be credited to the student. The same applies to over-quotation from a traditional, printed source.

Academic Misconduct Self-plagiarism is a serious academic offence…

Academic Misconduct Self-plagiarism is a serious academic offence… Regulation 32 states: ‘A student who has previously submitted work for one course at the University must not submit the same work to attempt to achieve academic credit through another course.’
