Plagiarism: Home

Introduction

The Online Writing Lab (OWL) at Purdue University defines Plagiarism as using someone else’s ideas or words without giving them proper credit. This can range from unintentional (forgetting to include a source in a bibliography) to intentional (buying a paper online, using another writer’s ideas as your own to make your work sound smarter). 

The Online Writing Lab (OWL) at Purdue University provides free writing resources and instructional materials to the community with talks about plagiarism and other topics such as writing a paper and citation styles.

Academic Integrity

Academic Integrity is a foundational concept of professional behavior and JPU takes such matters very seriously. In general, if you have to ask if behavior would violate the integrity policy, it probably does.  JPU is committed to educate, implement, support, and enforce sound academic and professional integrity.

To that, JPU utilizes TURNITIN® plagiarism software to detect the usage of ChatGPT or other AI writing software which may constitute a violation of JPU's academic integrity policy.

 

Other Examples of Cheating

* Submitting work you did not do

* Copying all or part of someone else’s work and submitting it as your own

* Not properly citing sources you use in assignment submissions

* Copying answer keys and distributing them to other students or online

* Using resources like books and notes during closed book, proctored assessments
