Plagiarism
Plagiarism is a serious academic offence and is comprehensively dealt with on UCD’s Registry website [UCD
2020]. It is a student’s responsibility to be familiar with the University’s policy on plagiarism. All students are
encouraged, if in doubt, to seek guidance from an academic member of staff on this issue. The UCD policy
document on plagiarism states that “the University understands plagiarism to be the inclusion of another
person’s writings or ideas or works, in any formally presented work (including essays, theses, projects,
laboratory reports, examinations, oral, poster or slide presentations) which form part of the assessment
requirements for a module or programme of study, without due acknowledgement either wholly or in part of
the original source of the material through appropriate citation. Plagiarism is a form of academic dishonesty,
where ideas are presented falsely, either implicitly or explicitly, as being the original work of the author. While
plagiarism may be easy to commit unintentionally, it is defined by the act not the intention. The University
advocates a developmental approach to plagiarism and encourages students to adopt good academic practice
by maintaining academic integrity in the presentation of all academic work” [UCD 2020]].
