What is plagiarism?⁽¹⁾

Plagiarism is the act of copying or paraphrasing the work or ideas of others in a work without explicit acknowledgement of authorship. It includes any material, whether made public or unpublished, handwritten, printed or in electronic form.

Collusion is another form of plagiarism: it occurs when several students or others collaborate on work that should be done individually.

Cases of possible plagiarism in an evaluated work will be elucidated in the light of the disciplinary regulations that judge the behavior in the exams. Plagiarism, whether intentional or hasty (inadvertent), may incur serious penalties, including termination of studies or expulsion from the university. rules and regulations on discipline academic.

Why is plagiarism important?

It would be a mistake to describe plagiarism only as a minor offense, or as a matter of academic formality. On the contrary, plagiarism is a serious breach of academic honesty. It is a principle of intellectual honesty that all members of academic community acknowledge their debt to the authors of the ideas, papers and data that form the basis of the work they present. Passing off the work of others as one's own is not only a lack of collegiality, it is also a failure in the learning process. Deliberate plagiarism is unethical behavior and can have serious consequences for your future career; it also undermines the instructions of the institution and the studies in which it takes place.

What forms of plagiarism are possible?

• quotation textual use of other people's intellectual work without due acknowledgment. Quotations should always be identified by the use of the established marks -quotes or the use of a different subject font- and an adequate bibliographic reference letter . It should be clear to the reader which parts of your work are your own and which are based on the ideas or expressions of others. "Citing is positive. Using a lot of bibliography and quoting a lot of people is a sign that you have worked" ^(2).
   
• Paraphrasing the work of others by changing some words, or the order, or closely following the structure of their argumentation, is plagiarism because one draws one's expressions or ideas from the work of others without acknowledging it. Even if one includes a reference letter to the author, it may give the false impression that the paraphrased expressions are actually from the student. It is better to write a brief summary of the author's entire argument in your own words than to paraphrase paragraphs from his or her paper. This will ensure that you have a true mastery of the argument and will avoid the difficulty of paraphrasing without plagiarizing. You should also indicate the specific reference letter of everything that comes from your readings.
   
• Copy and paste from the Internet. Information from the Internet should be cited with its corresponding reference letter and should be included in the bibliography used. It is important to carefully examine all material found on the Internet, because the reliability required for books is not always found on websites.
   
• Collusion or dissimulation. It is an impermissible collaboration between students. It occurs when one covers up the financial aid received from another or does not follow the indications given for group work. It is the responsibility of each student to know what are the limits of allowed collaboration and what parts of the work correspond to him/her.
   
• Inaccurate citations. It is important to cite correctly, according to the conventions of each area. Also, do not include any reference letter in the notes or on the bibliography that you have not consulted. If the source could not be consulted, it should be made clear in the quotation that your knowledge of the book comes from a secondary text (e.g. Bradshaw, D., Title of book, reviewed in Wilson, E., Title of book (London, 2004), p. 189).
   
• Omission of acknowledgement. You should clearly state all sources used in the preparation of your work, such as advice from peers or other outside support. This requirement does not apply to attendance from tutor or supervisor, nor does it apply to the usual proofreading; but it is necessary to acknowledge other guidance that leads to substantial changes to your writing in content or point of view.
   
• Companies or professional agencies. You should not make use of companies in the completion of assignments, nor submit material that others have written for you (on commission or on websites that sell assignments). It is vital for your learning and intellectual development that you undertake the research process without (outside) help.
   
• Self-plagiarism. You should not submit a paper that you have previously submitted (partially or completely) to fulfill the requirements in another course or test.

Plagiarism refers not only to texts. The obligation to provide reference letter applies to the text, but also to other supports, such as computer documents (web pages), illustrations, plans, graphics, etc. It also applies to texts published in books and periodicals, as well as to unpublished texts, whether conference materials, theses or essays by other students.

More information on the specific way to cite can be found in: The acknowledgment of sources in an academic paper (University of Navarra, School of Philosophy and Letters, 2012 - accessed 11/1/2017).
