Plagiarism is a serious issue in the academic world, both for students and professional researchers. UCL’s official policy on plagiarism regards it as a form of cheating. Consequently penalties for plagiarism at UCL can be heavy, even if those implicated are unaware that their actions constitute plagiarism.
This session will provide attendees with an awareness of the fundamental principles of what plagiarism, collusion and collaboration are. By the end of the session attendees will have a thorough understanding of how to avoid committing plagiarism and how to reference work correctly using the most popular citation styles.
