 Plagiarism and Academic Integrity


Higher education is built on academic integrity, which emphasises truthfulness, fairness, and trust in all academic endeavours. Presenting someone else's ideas or work as your own without giving due credit is plagiarism, a major violation of academic integrity. This involves utilising someone else's research or creative work without giving credit, paraphrasing without giving due credit, or just duplicating material. Plagiarism can have serious repercussions, such as expulsion or poor grades.

Here we can explain some questions to explore more about topic.

Q-1. Explain the term Plagiarism and discuss its forms.

A-1.



Presenting someone else's ideas or work as your own without properly citing the original source is known as plagiarism. This involves utilising someone else's research or creative work without giving credit, paraphrasing without giving due credit, or just duplicating material. It is a grave academic transgression that compromises the integrity of research and teaching.

Direct copying, paraphrasing without proper attribution, and even inadvertently stealing someone else's ideas without providing credit are just a few examples of plagiarism. Plagiarism can have serious repercussions, such as expulsion or poor grades. Understanding plagiarism is essential, as is avoiding it by correctly attributing all of your sources and acknowledging the original writers. Honesty and respect for other people's intellectual property are the cornerstones of academic integrity. Students and researchers can maintain the highest standards of academic quality and make significant contributions to the advancement of knowledge by being aware of and abstaining from plagiarism.

Q-2. In your opinion, why is Academic Integrity necessary?

A-2.



A reliable and significant education is built on academic honesty. Beyond simply eliminating plagiarism, the goal is to promote an honest, respectful, and intellectually stimulating society. A level playing field where everyone's opinions are respected and have the chance to develop is created when academic integrity is given top priority.

For example we see, students aren't really interacting with the content if they can just duplicate someone else's work. They are not acquiring the ability to think critically, analyse data, or create original viewpoints. Being innovative, pushing ourselves, and learning from our mistakes and accomplishments are all encouraged by academic integrity. It assists us in cultivating the resilience and intellectual curiosity necessary for success in both our academic and professional life. Maintaining the highest standards of intellectual honesty and fostering an environment where everyone can succeed are the two main goals of academic integrity.


The cornerstone of education itself is threatened by plagiarism. It devalues the effort and unique contributions of others in addition to depriving the individual learner of a genuine educational experience. Academic integrity is about developing a strong regard for intellectual property and a dedication to both academic and human development, not only following rules and regulations.
