Plagiarism

Avoid plagiarism

Plagiarism is an offence which is treated with the utmost seriousness at the university. These pages focus on how you can avoid plagiarism as a student. How, as a lecturer, you can help and guide your students and how, as a researcher, you can ensure "good academic practice".

On these pages you will, as a student, find information on how to avoid plagiarism when writing academic assignments. It is important that you know, for example, how to reproduce text from a source you are using, and that you are confident about how you should refer to a source and make citations. Here, we have compiled a number of tutorials and guides that can help you understand what plagiarism is and how you can avoid it!

For those who teach and perform research, we have collected information on anti-plagiarism tools and what to do if you encounter plagiarism.
