Avoiding Plagiarism
In a world where sources are increasingly digital, it is more important than ever to understand how to keep track of where your sources are located and how to correctly reference online content which can include ideas, figures, software, diagrams, or other materials from the internet. It can be easy to copy and paste material from the internet and neglect to make a note of the source and credit the author, and it might also seem tempting to get a little help with paraphrasing from software that seems to do it automatically. Both of these activities can be considered deliberate academic misconduct, which has serious consequences for your results and future studies. Have a look at our online guide on Academic Integrity and Academic Misconduct to find out more information.
