5. Academic Integrity and Plagiarism

Academic integrity requires honesty in your studies. You should not present another person’s sentences or ideas as your own work. You should clearly identify quotations through the use of quotation marks and references to the sources. Failure to adhere to these academic standards may lead to allegations of academic misconduct, which will be investigated by the Casework Office.

Academic misconduct covers a variety of practices, such as:
• Plagiarism: copying another person’s ideas or words and presenting them as your own work, without the use of quotation marks and/or references;
• Self-plagiarism: reproducing parts of one of your assignments in another piece of work;
• Inventing, altering or falsifying the results of experiments or research;
• Commissioning another person to complete an assessment;
• Collaborating with others in the production of a piece of assessed work which is presented as entirely your own work;
• Cheating in an exam (e.g., by taking revision notes into the exam room).

For full details of academic misconduct and how allegations are investigated, see the relevant section of the University’s academic regulations: https://student.londonmet.ac.uk/your-studies/student-administration/rules-and-regulations/academic-misconduct/.
