Academic integrity is defined as an act of honesty and responsibility in scholarship. Students and faculty must obey rules of honest scholarship meaning, that all academic work should result from an individual's own efforts.
One way to demonstrate academic integrity is to avoid plagiarism. Plagiarism is using other people's ideas or copying their words without clearly acknowledging the source of that information. In short, plagiarism is putting forward ideas and words of other people and conveying that it is your work.
For example: In doing research papers, we cite instances and events that are relevant in the progress of our research papers. These instance and events may not personally come from you, if so, you must also include in the research paper the sources where you found these instances and events.
