Abstract
Universities are knowledge producers. Cheating, in its various manifestations, damages the integrity of the knowledge produced and destroys the reputation of students, professors, and the university. Academic integrity is concerned with moral and ethical issues, including respecting other’s dignity, rights, and property. Violations can include cheating on exams, falsifying documents, and unauthorized collaboration. This chapter deals specifically with plagiarism as it applies to thesis writing.
