Plagiarism is the copying of another person’s work without quoting the source, potentially creating the impression that the work is your own. Besides being a breach of copyright, plagiarism is also a breach of academic integrity. As a result of this, plagiarism is forbidden and can also result in academic penalties.
Further information about the fraud and plagiarism policy at Erasmus University is available in a brochure.
To protect you from potentially committing plagiarism, the library specialists have created a LibGuide covering academic integrity and how to avoid plagiarism. A LibGuide is also available on the (correct) citing of references.
