 What do we mean by Academic and
Research Integrity?
The Center for Academic Integrity (CAI) at
Clemson University defines academic
integrity as “a commitment, even in the face
of adversity, to five fundamental values:
 Honesty
 Trust
 Fairness
 Respect
 Responsibility.
From these values flow principles of behavior
that enable academic communities to
translate ideals to action.
Academic integrity is
the moral code or ethical
policy of academia. This
includes values such as the
avoidance of cheating or
plagiarism, maintenance
of academic standards,
honesty and rigor in research
and academic publishing.
To whom does academic and research
integrity apply?
• Students
• Faculty
• Staff
“The ability of the university to achieve its purposes depends upon
the quality and integrity of the academic work that its faculty, staff,
and students perform.” (Rights, Rules, Responsibilities. Princeton
University 1995.)
 How do we recognize academic and
research integrity?
We tend to recognize academic integrity in the breach.
– Cheating in quizzes and exams
– Plagiarizing in written work or verbal presentations
– Fabricating data or bibliographical information
– Unauthorized collaboration
– Falsifying grades
– Misrepresenting oneself to gain advantage
 What is plagiarism?
Plagiarism means an act of academic
dishonesty and a breach of ethics which
involves using someone else’s work as
one’s own. It includes data plagiarism
and self plagiarism.
“According to the Merriam-Webster Online Dictionary, to ‘plagiarize’ means

to steal and pass off the ideas or words of another

as one's own
to use another's production without crediting the
source
to commit literary theft
to present as new and original idea or product
derived from an existing source.
 In short, plagiarism is an act of fraud
which involves both stealing someone
else’s work and lying about it afterward.
