Committing plagiarism is to …
present the ideas, words, or results of another person as your own, without giving appropriate recognition of the
origin;
use the ideas or words of a person without giving appropriate credit to the person or source;
use sentences, paragraphs, or parts of articles and books without quotation marks and appropriate
acknowledgement;
download sentences, paragraphs, or sections of writings from the Internet and to use them without quotation marks
and proper acknowledgement;
use a person’s direct words, without quotation marks, even when you credit the source;
use ideas without making them properly your own, although you might still have credited the original source; and/or
formulate your words so closely to the original that you could not have written them without having had the source
next to you, i.e. your paraphrase of the author’s words is too close to the original author’s use of the words, even if
you cited your source.
Where there are reasonable grounds for believing that intentional plagiarism or collusion has occurred, this matter will
be reported and may result in disciplinary action being taken against the student.
Student statement:
I have read the UJ Plagiarism Policy posted on institutional website.
I understand that plagiarism means presenting the ideas and words of someone else as my own, without appropriate
recognition of the source;
I confirm that the work that I submit for assessment is my own or my group’s, except where I/we explicitly indicate
otherwise;
I have fully acknowledged all words, ideas, and results from other sources that I have used in this assignment through
a generally accepted style of quotes, references, and bibliography; and
I am aware that the university views plagiarism as a serious offence that can be punished by a disciplinary committee.
