VII. SAINT LOUIS UNIVERSITY SCHOOL OF LAW PLAGIARISM POLICY STATEMENT
- Explanations
Plagiarism as defined above is any use of a source—for example, another person’s words, ideas, data or visual material—without proper acknowledgement and citation.
- Acknowledgement and citation of a source must be sufficient to specify the extent of the student’s use of the source. It is not sufficient merely to cite the source in a bibliography, footnote or other reference if specific words, ideas or other material are appropriated without specific acknowledgement.
- Plagiarism is not limited to unacknowledged copying of another author’s words. Plagiarism results from any unacknowledged use, even when ideas taken from a source are expressed in the student’s own words.
- All material taken from a source, including citations, numerical data, formulae and equations, organization and format, graphical or visual materials, must be acknowledged and cited, just as words and ideas must be acknowledged and cited.
- Material appropriated from any source, including the internet, speeches and lectures, or films, television, radio and other visual or audio media, must be acknowledged and cited, just as material appropriated from print sources must be acknowledged and cited.
- Plagiarism can result when no deception could have occurred, as when a student makes unacknowledged use of a source recommended by the teacher.
