Kean University's Academic Integrity Policy explains the importance placed on intellectual honesty, personal ethics and values for all members of the Kean academic community.
Plagiarism is one type of academic integrity violation, and it has very serious consequences. In order to avoid committing plagiarism, the work presented by an individual must truly represent the work of that person, and such work must acknowledge the source of any words, ideas, data, images, music, etc. that have been incorporated into a paper, presentation, Web site, multimedia project, and so on.
Citations to the original source material must accompany word-for-word quotes enclosed in quotation marks, block quotations, and paraphrased material (ideas that you have put into your own words).
While you gather source material for your research projects, make sure that you keep track of the information you will need in order to acknowledge your sources.
Writing Services provides Kean University students with academic support in the area of written communication. Visit the Academic Support Services website for links to updated documentation style skills sheets, including sheets focusing on "MLA Format," "APA 7th Edition," and "Chicago Format."
