Academic integrity includes the values of trust, respect, fairness, and honesty in your work. Plagiarism means the inclusion of any idea or language from someone else without giving due credit by citing and referencing that source. Strategies for supporting academic integrity include considering forms of assessment that reduce opportunities for plagiarism, raising student awareness, and supporting development of study skills. Formative use of text-matching systems such as Turnitin can also help students to improve their writing, reinforcing appropriate ways to use and cite source material, as well as providing a quick way for staff to identify matching text in cases of possible plagiarism.
