Plagiarism
1 q- E2 i3 r4 Y; y3 i) DThe University's policy on plagiarism reflects its stance on Intellectual Property and related matters such as copyright. Intellectual Property is the term given to such things as patents, copyright, designs, database rights and similar rights. Unauthorised use, copying or exploitation of intellectual property is a serious matter that carries legal penalties. The University seeks to ensure that intellectual property is respected by staff and students and it treats breaches of its policies* as a serious matter.& p& d3 o( g3 G

8 g  o  A2 Z* OOne way in which students may breach intellectual property right is by making or using unauthorised copies of published materials. Most publications (on paper or in electronic media, including broadcasts and web-based materials) are protected by the law of copyright, and copying them (by photocopying, recording, downloading etc.) is illegal unless it is explicitly licensed or permitted. The University has several licences which allow you to copy published materials within defined limits and you are required to observe these. **

Guidelines on Plagiarism - for Students
% |  Y7 ^% V/ ^4 x% x9 c' S  Q; X( @5 I: K( x4 i; A$ c
The following guidelines should appear in all Programme Handbooks. Departments may wish to modify them slightly to suit their own circumstances and under paragraph 6 add examples of how entries should appear in a bibliography in their own subject area. Plagiarism is so serious an offence that some departments may wish to ask their students to sign a written declaration that they have read, understood and agree to abide by the University's (or department's) statement on plagiarism.

0 [  w0 k- Q( c' o( i- w. c2. Unacknowledged direct copying from the work of another person, or the close paraphrasing of somebody else's work, is called plagiarism and is a serious offence, equated with cheating in examinations. This applies to copying both from other students' work or the work of staff and from published sources such as books, reports or journal articles. Plagiarised material may originate from any source. It is as serious to use material from the World Wide Web or from a computer based encyclopaedia or literaturearchive as it is to use material from a printed source if it is not properly acknowledged., q  v9 p/ x3 v6 _0 v+ ?/ E. L: C7 B$ X

% t* o/ ]3 b5 \' L/ p/ O7 C3. Use of quotations or data from the work of others is entirely acceptable, and is often very valuable provided that the source of the quotation or data is given. Failure to provide a source or put quotation marks around material that is taken from elsewhere gives the appearance that the comments are ostensibly one's own. When quoting word-for-word from the work of another person quotation marks or indenting (setting the quotation in from the margin) must be used and the source of the quoted material must be acknowledged.! L% W- F6 W+ ^6 N

' ^' f8 K5 h- V/ F4. Paraphrasing, when the original statement is still identifiable and has no acknowledgement, is plagiarism. Taking a piece of text, from whatever source, and substituting words or phrases with other words or phrases is plagiarism. Any paraphrase of another person's work must have an acknowledgement to the source. It is not acceptable to put together unacknowledged passages from the same or from different sources linking these together with a few words or sentences of your own and changing a few words from the original text: this is regarded as over-dependence on other sources, which is a form of plagiarism.1 K- @1 q  y: ?% _: a" R

5. Direct quotations from an earlier piece of the student's own work, if unattributed, suggests that the work is original, when in fact it is not. The direct copying of one's own writings qualifies as plagiarism if the fact that the work has been or is to be presented elsewhere is not acknowledged./ j( s. Z; B" Q" v- t- ~% d

2 Y; g' X% S1 }5 J9 L7. Plagiarism is a serious offence and will always result in imposition of a penalty. In deciding upon the penalty the University will take into account factors such as the year of study, the extent and proportion of the work that has been plagiarised and the apparent intent of the student. The penalties that can be imposed range from a minimum of a zero mark for the work (with or without allowing resubmission) through the down grading of degree class, the award of a lesser qualification (eg a pass degree rather than honours, a certificate rather than diploma) to disciplinary measures such as suspension or expulsion.: k; Y; z/ w; [- E5 b; m

! ~. K+ v2 }0 Q) L- CThese procedures on the treatment of cases of plagiarism or suspected plagiarism are for academic staff in departments. They have been written in terms of students on degree programmes, but they are relevant to students on any certificate, diploma or continuing education programme, whether credit-rated or not, at the University or at any one of its associated or affiliated institutions and are to be interpreted appropriately.
! }# J& w# h  Q1 s; {# R- p4 z- a! g
The following paragraphs have been written in terms of full-time students where year of study is approximately equivalent to level of study. Where this is not the case, (for example, part-time students; students who join the University other than at level one) the procedures should be re-interpreted to preserve their spirit. That is, as students advance in maturity they are expected to be more conscious of the seriousness of plagiarism and of the penalties that will ensue from it.& U+ Y* V; Q' G
+ @& j: s3 T0 |; @! i, J
The term 'department' should be taken to mean the academic unit within which the student is registered or is being taught and which is responsible for monitoring the progress of that student. As is appropriate, the term 'department' may need to be interpreted as 'School, 'Faculty', 'Centre', 'Board of Studies' or other such similar term.

% l  c: D& a& l  W* u& @It is important to distinguish between (1) minor plagiarism and (2) cases which are major. Staff assessing students' work must use their own professional judgement to decide when an instance of plagiarism is significant, ie when action needs to be taken over the case. We do not regard the unattributed use of several words or a single sentence as requiring any action (other than appropriate tutorial advice).$ U. R" O5 Y  i; g3 ]- L

Where the plagiarism extends to just one or two paragraphs of the work it may be appropriate to assess the work after deletion of these paragraphs but, in general, the usual minimum penalty would be a requirement to re-submit the work (the maximum mark that can be awarded to this re-submission is the pass mark appropriate to the degree programme being followed). As the plagiarism becomes more serious so should the penalty but it is not the intention of this procedure that a penalty imposed within a department should result in a student being irretrievably denied the credits for a course unit in which the plagiarism has occurred and hence subsequently only be eligible for a pass degree. As a maximum, the penalty imposed by a department might be the award of zero for the work concerned, resulting in failure to obtain the credits for the course unit but with the opportunity to compensate those credits or to accumulate alternative credits by taking an additional course unit either within the same or in a subsequent academic year.!

The normal penalty for any substantiated serious cases referred to the Student Discipline Committee will be: for undergraduate students the loss of one degree class; for graduate students the loss of the degree.
