(II) SOME EXAMPLES OF ACADEMIC ETHIC

Universitas Negeri Medan

Etika Akademik 1. Program Pascasarjana UNIMED adalah lembaga pendidikan yang menyelenggarakan pendidikan akademik yang bertujuan meningkatkan mutu dan wawasan ilmu pengetahuan. 2. Untuk melaksanakan kegiatan akademik ini diperlukan standar prilaku/etika akademik yang merupakan seperangkat nilai dan norma yang dipakai sebagai acuan dalam sikap dan prilaku baik bagi mahasiswa, dosen, pembimbing, staf administrasi, maupun pengelola. 3. Nilai dan norma prilaku akademik ini mengacu kepada dasar pemikiran sebagai berikut :
3.1. Pengetahuan ilmiah merupakan upaya manusia untuk mencari kebenaran secara dinamis ke arah penemuan pengetahuan yang lebih rasional, akurat dan teruji. Oleh karena itu tidak seorangpun manusia bisa mengajukan klaim bahwa dialah satu-satunya pemilik pengetahuan yang benar. Kebenaran dalam kegiatan akademik ditentukan lewat wacana intelektual yang berdasarkan argumentasi keilmuan yang baik menyangkut substansi material maupun keabsahan alur pemikiran. 3.2. Upaya manusia dalam menemukan kebenaran harus didasari landasan etika keilmuan yang menjunjung tinggi kejujuran. Setiap ketidakjujuran dalam kegiatan akademik seperti plagiat, memalsukan data, mencuri gagasan orang lain tanpa menyebutkan sumbernya dan kegiatan lainnya yang tidak jujur merupakan pelanggaran terhadap etika akademik karenanya dapat dikenakan sanksi. 3.3. Pendidikan adalah proses transfer pengetahuan dari pembelajar kepada pebelajar secara terarah, terencana dan terprogram dalam upaya membentuk kepribadian. Dalam konteks ini maka pebelajar adalah subyek utama dalam kegiatan pendidikan untuk diproses sesuai dengan tujuan pendidikan. Proses pendidikan ini membutuhkan dosen, pembimbing, dan pengelola yang berfungsi sebagai fasilitator dalam proses pendidikan tersebut.

ACADEMIC ETHIC is ACADEMIC DISHONESTY

Academic dishonesty includes "cheating" and "plagiarism," the theft of ideas and other forms of intellectual property whether they are published or not.

, "All forms of academic dishonesty, including cheating, fabrication, facilitating academic dishonesty and plagiarism are subject to disciplinary action up to and including suspension or expulsion from the university

Academic Dishonesty, Cheating, and Plagiarism: Lars R. Jones, et all

o Giving or receiving information during an exam ("exam" includes tests and quizzes) o Using unauthorized material (like notes) during an exam; unauthorized dissemination or receipt of exams, exam materials, contents, or answer keys o Taking an exam or writing a paper for another student or asking someone to take an exam or write a paper for you (this includes shared work and/or group-produced answers on take-home exams). o Submitting the same paperor different versions of what is substantially the same paperfor more than one course o Misrepresenting or fabricating written work, sources, research, or results as well as helping another student commit an act of academic dishonesty or lying to protect a student who has committed such an act.

Your best friend is having trouble in a class and needs a C to keep her athletic scholarship. She asks if she can copy off your exam just this once. You agree since you think you arent doing anything wrong. Is this cheating? Yes. By allowing someone to copy off your exam, you are guilty of giving information and are thus cheating.

(Plagiarism) Misconduct/Fraud

Misconduct/Fraud
Misconduct in research is defined as fabrication, falsification, plagiarism, or other serious deviation from generally accepted practices in proposing, conducting, or reporting research. It does not include errors of judgment, error in recording, selection, or analysis of data, differences in opinions involving the interpretation of data, or misconduct unrelated to the research process.
Nat Acad Press 1992 Pointers Soedigdo: Plagiarism Sep 05/SS

Misconduct/Fraud (contd)
...plagiarism, or other serious deviation from generally accepted practices..

Stealing idea or data during the peer review process Dishonesty in authorship, etc

it does not include.interpretation of data, or misconduct unrelated to the research process.

? special relationship between researchers or supervisor-researcher, etc

Misconduct in research
May occur from idea, proposal development, study execution, data analysis, publication May be intentional or non-intentional Non-intentional misconduct is treated and managed as severe as intentional misconduct, especially after being warned or done repeatedly
Nat Acad Press 1992 Pointers Soedigdo: Plagiarism Sep 05/SS

Fabrication
In engineering, the term fabrication has a benign connotation, meaning to make something. In research ethics the term fabricaton means making up data, experiments or, other significant information in proposing, conducting, or reporting research.
Nat Acad Press 1992 Pointers Soedigdo: Plagiarism Sep 05/SS

Falsification
In research ethics the term falsification means changing or misrepresenting data or experiments, or misrepresenting other significant matters, such as the credentials of an investigator in a rsearch proposal. Unlike fabrication, distinguishing falsification of data from legitimate data selection takes judgment and an understanding of statistical methods.
Nat Acad Press 1992 Pointers Soedigdo: Plagiarism Sep 05/SS

Plagiarism: What is that?

The unacknowledged use, as ones own, of work of another person, whether or not such work has been published (University of Malta Regulations, 1997) To take someone elses words or ideas and present them as your own without proper acknowledgment (Marshall & Roland, 1998) The use another persons idea or a part of their work and pretend that is your own (http://dictionary.cambridge.org/) The reproduction, in whole or essential part, of a literary, artistic or musical work by one who falsely claims to be its creator (http://auth.grolier.com/)
Pointers Soedigdo: Plagiarism Sep 05/SS

Plagiarism
Plagiarism is "[t]he use of another writers words or ideas without acknowledging the source" and is "[a]kin to theft In Writing with Sources, plagiarism means "passing off a sources information, ideas, or words as your own by omitting to cite theman act of lying, cheating, and stealing."

Academic Dishonesty, Cheating, and Plagiarism: Lars R. Jones, et all

Type of Plagiarism
1. Unauthorized and/or unacknowledged collaborative work constitutes plagiarism. While students are expected to do their own research and writing, instructors also understand that students may discuss their own research projects with other students in the same course. Instructors strongly suspect collaborative plagiarism when the same or similar phrases, quotations, sentences, and/or parallel constructions appear in two or more papers on the same topic. To protect yourself, you should acknowledgein a footnote or endnoteany significant discussions you have had with others as well as any advice, comments, or suggestions that you have received from others. 2. Attempting to pass off, as your own work, a whole work or any part of a work belonging to another person or group constitutes plagiarism. This includes borrowing, buying, copying, receiving, downloading, taking, using, and/or stealing a paper that is not your own. 3. The use of ANY AMOUNT of text that has been IMPROPERLY PARAPHRASED constitutes plagiarism. Suggesting an improper reliance on a single source, this includes "mosaic plagiarism" or "cut-and-paste plagiarism." 4. The use of any amount of text, that is properly paraphrasedbut which is either not cited or which is improperly citedconstitutes plagiarism. This includes papers in which a general failure to cite sources or a gross negligence in citing sources is apparent. Moreover, attaching false, misleading, or improper attributions/citations to properly paraphrased texts still constitutes plagiarism.

The use of ANY AMOUNT OF MATERIALeither without a citation or cited improperly TAKEN DIRECTLY from a text, from the web or a digital source, from a broadcast, recording, or from another persons unpublished work constitutes plagiarism. A. The use of such material with false attributions/citations and/or the use of deceptive or fabricated citations to disguise direct plagiarism is still plagiarism.

C. The use of such material with quotation marks but without any attribution, citation, or with inadequate/improper attribution/citation is considered plagiarism.

Explanation & Example

You must use proper citations for all quoted and paraphrased material taken from another source. In the following example, the student used quotation marks and seems to cite the quoted text but, by neglecting to refer to the page from which this quotation was taken, has failed to cite properly. Once in Egypt he murdered Cleopatras son Ptolmey and annexed Egypt under his direct power. Once he took all of Egypts money he paid off everyone he was endebted to and finally became the master of all the Greco-Roman world(The Deeds of the Divine Augustus, Augustus).

D. The use of such materialcorrectly attributed and properly citedbut without quotation marks is plagiarism.

In the following example, the student cited material that was copied, in large part, directly from the source text but the student failed to indicate the quoted material by using quotation marks. The student pretended to be paraphrasing but was really plagiarizing.

Conspiracy and bribery were very popular tools used by Caesar prior to his reign as Imperator. For instance just before he entered aedileship he was suspected of having made a conspiracy with Marcus Crassus, an ex-consul, and with Publius Sulla and Lucius Autronius, who were found guilty of corrupt practices. The plan supposedly was to kill as many of the senate as they though good, then for Crassus to usurp power and then declare Caesar his master of horse. Further when they had reorganized the state according to their own pleasures, then they would restore the consulship to Sulla and Autronius. This particular plot did not actually occur, because, and it is suggested in Suetonius, that Crassus was either conscience-stricken or moved by fear and consequently did not show up for the planned massacre

IX. For all that, he presently made a more daring attempt at Rome: for a few days before he entered upon hisaedileship he was suspected of having made a conspiracy with Marcus Crassus, an ex-consul, and likewisewith Publius Sulla and Lucius Autronius, who, after their election to the consulship, had been found guilty ofcorrupt practices. The design was to set upon the senate at the opening of the year and put to the sword asmany as they thought good; then Crassus was to usurp the dictatorship, naming Caesar as his master ofhorse, and when they had organized the state according to their pleasure, the consulship was to be restoredto Sulla and Autronius. This plot is mentioned by Tanusius Geminus in his History, by Marcus Bibulus in hisedicts, and by Gaius Curio the elder in his speeches. Cicero too seems to hint at it in a letter to Axius, wherehe says that Caesar in his consulship established the despotism which he had had in mind when he wasaedile. Tanusius adds that Crassus, either conscience-stricken or moved by fear, did not appear on the dayappointed for the massacre, and that therefore Caesar notet all Academic Dishonesty, Cheating, and Plagiarism: Larsdid R.

Introduction The purpose of this experiment is to measure the molar heat of combustion of Naphthalene. In order to do this, the heat capacity (Cs) of the calorimeter needed to be determine through the use of the following formula: (1) Cs = (Eba = Ewire) / (T2-T1) Where Eba representsthe known heat of combustion of benzoic acid andEwire represents the heat of combustion for the wire holding the benzoic acidpellet during combustion. The variable T represents the temperature in Celsiusbefore and after the trial. The procedure for this determination involvescombustion of each of the samples within a bomb colorimeter. For suchsample, the amounts of benzoic acid, naphthalene, and wire were known. The heat of combustion (E) was then calculated from the following equation: (2) E = Cs (T2 T1) - Ewire Where Cs is the average value of the heat capacities determined through theuse of equation (1). Once the heat of combustion for naphthalene is determinedwe can determine the molar heat of combustion (H) represented through thefollowing equation: (3) H - E + RTn where n is the change in moles for the system and R is the universal gasconstant in Joules. Due to the fact that the pressure within the system is notconstant we can not assume that H is equal to E, and will be determined in kJper mole naphthalene.

Introduction The purpose of this experiment is to measure the molar heat of combustion of maleic acid. In order to find this quantity. the heat capacity (Cs) of the calorimenter must first be measured. This was found using the following equation: (1) Cs = ( E(ben) + E(wire))/T2-T1 Where E(ben) represents the internal energy of benzoic acid and E(wire) represents the internal energy of the wire holding the benzoic acid during combustion. The variable T is the temperature. T2 being the ending temp. and T1 being the starting temp. both in Celsius. For these samples the amounts of b nzoic acid, maleic acid and wire were all known.

The heat of combustion was then calculated from the following equation: (2) E= Cs(T2-T1) E(wire) Where Cs is the average value of the heat capacities found in the first equation. When the heat of combustion is quantified it is now possible to find the molar heat of combus tion, also known as enthalpy or H. This is found using the following equation: (3) H = E + RTn Where n is the change in moles for the system found by stoichiometry and R is the universal gas constant in Joules/mol*Kelvin.

Example of Type 3 Plagiarism

THE POWER OF CAESAR Julius Caesar rose from relative obscurity to supreme poor in the late Roman republic. A brilliant general and formidable politician, he defeated all rivals to become dictator of Rome. Fear that he would make himself king prompted his assassination in 44 BC. But Caesar's adopted son, Octavian, later rose to become the emperor Augustus. Early Life Gaius Julius Caesar was born on July 13, 100 BC. Although patrician and claiming descent from Venus through Aeneas's son Iulus (Ascanius), Caesar's family had not achieved real prominence. His father, also named Gaius Julius Caesar, was the brother-in-law of Gaius Marius and married Aurelia, who was connected with the prominent Aurelii family; he died about 85 BC, however, before reaching the consulship. In 84, Caesar married Cornelia, daughter of Marius's old partner Lucius Cornelius Cinna. When Lucius Cornelius Sulla ordered him to divorce her, he refused and escaped harm through the intervention of such people as his mother's relative, Gaius Aurelius Cotta.

Julius Caesar was born on July 13 in the year 100 BC. His full name was Gaius Julius Caesar, the exact same name as his father. Although patrician and claiming descent from Venus, Caesars family never achieved real prominence. Around 86BC Caesars uncle Marius, just before his death, saw to it that young Caesar was appointed flamen dialis, one of an archaic priesthood with no power. This then identified him with his uncles extremist politics. Julius Caesars father died in 85 BC. In 84 BC, at the age of sixteen, he married Cornelia, the daughter of Lucius Cornelius Cinna, one of Marius associates. This marriage further confirmed him as a radical. Soon after his marriage he had a daughter, Julia. When Lucius Cornelius Sulla, Mariuss enemy and leader of the Optimates, was made dictator in 82 BC, he issued a list of enemies to be executed. Although Caesar was not harmed, he was ordered by Sulla to divorce Cornelia. Refusing that order, he found it prudent to leave Rome. He did not return to the city until 78 BC, after Sullas resignation. (Plutarch wrote in more detail about this in his work, The Lives of the Noble Grecians and Romans.)

How to use and cite sources properly

"three basic principles" are given for the proper use of sources

1. "Use sources as concisely as possible, so your own thinking isnt crowded out by your presentation of other peoples thinking, or your own voice by your quoting of other sources." 2. "Never leave your reader in doubt as to when you are speaking and when you are using materials from a source." 3. "Always make clear how each source you use relates to your argument."

Common Knowledge
"Common knowledge includes such information as December has thirty-one days, and well-known proverbs (a penny saved is a penny earned) or historical information such as the date of the Declaration of Independence But: ,,Dont assume anything you read especially on the web or in your textbooksis common knowledge. Many texts on the web are simply plagiarized from other pages or from printed sources
