Turnitin Policy

1. We recognise the educational desirability that all of our students should enjoy the opportunity to self-submit their work to Turnitin (before submitting for assessment). We also recognise that Turnitin Originality Reports will sometimes assist in the identification of plagiarised work submitted for assessment.
2. We will make Turnitin available to all of our students by way of our virtual learning environment (UELPlus) and we will encourage them to use it to improve their referencing
3. All students will be given the opportunity to make multiple submissions of their written work to
4. All students will be advised, at the point of enrolment, that their work will be made available to third parties (such as Turnitin) for specified purposes, by way of a clause to be added to the Student Contract (the proposed clause, as suggested by Turnitin UK and JISCPAS, is set out in Annex I) and will be referred to Turnitin’s Questions and Answers for Students *.

A Module Leader may decide, in accordance with the policy of the appropriate School, that all student submissions for a particular component of assessment

This guide is based on Pears, R. and Shields, G. (2010) Cite them right: the essential referencing guide. 8th edn. Basingstoke: Palgrave Macmillan (Palgrave Study Skills). (Quick Guide) for online book

Cite them right is now the standard Harvard referencing style at UEL for all Schools apart from the School of Psychology which uses the APA system. This book will teach you all you need to know about Harvard referencing, plagiarism and collusion.

7.  Where Turnitin submission is required of work that will contribute to summative assessment and the student fails to submit, s/he will be awarded a mark of 0 for the component in question.

8. An Originality Report should never be advanced as the sole reason for suspecting that a piece of work is plagiarised, because the judgement as to whether work is plagiarised must always be an academic

Plagiarism – A Guidance Note for Students

1. Definition of Plagiarism

Our University defines plagiarism and other assessment offences in Part 8 of the UEL Manual of General Regulations (to which all students are referred upon joining UEL), which is reprinted in "The Essential Guide to the University of East London". In this document, the following example of an assessment offence is given:

(e) The submission of material (written, visual or oral) originally produced by another person or persons without due acknowledgement*, so that the work could be assumed to be the student's own. For the purpose of these Regulations, this includes incorporation of significant extracts or elements taken from the work of an(other(s), without acknowledgement or reference*, and the submission of work produced in collaboration for an assignment based on the assessment of individual work. (Such offences are typically described as plagiarism or collusion).

The following note is attached:

*Note: To avoid potential misunderstanding, any phrase not the students' own should normally be in quotation marks or highlighted in some other way. It should also be noted that the incorporation of significant elements of an(other(s) work, even with acknowledgement or reference, is not an acceptable academic practice and will normally result in failure of that item or stage of assessment.

2.  Plagiarism in Greater Detail

Work that students submit for assessment will inevitably be building on ideas that they have read about or have heard about in lectures. Students can, however, only demonstrate that they have learnt from their sources by presenting the concepts in their own words and by incorporating their own commentary on the findings.

Where students submit work purporting to be their own, but which in any way borrows ideas, wording or anything else from other source without appropriate acknowledgement of the fact, the students are guilty of plagiarism. Plagiarism includes reproducing someone else's work whether it be from a published article, book chapter, website, an assignment from a friend or any other source.

When an assignment or report involves outside sources, or information, the student must carefully acknowledge exactly what, where and how he/she has employed them. If the words of someone else are used, they must be put in quotation marks or otherwise identified and a reference as to source appended. See the next section for more guidelines. For advice on actual 9 referencing techniques, and for some helpful tips on how to avoid plagiarism, see "The Study Skills Handbook" by Dr Stella Cottrell, pages 122-125.

Making simple changes to the wording of a section from a book, article, web-site etc. whilst leaving the organisation, content and phraseology intact would also be regarded as plagiarism.

3.  Collusion

Collusion is the term used to describe any form of joint effort intended to deceive an assessor as to who was actually responsible for producing the material submitted for assessment. Students may obviously discuss assignments amongst themselves and this can be a valuable learning experience. However, if an individual assignment is specified, when the actual report/essay is produced it must be by the student alone. For this

reason students should be wary of lending work to colleagues since were it to be plagiarised they could leave themselves open to a charge of collusion.

4.  When to Reference

Since the regulations do not distinguish between deliberate and accidental plagiarism, the key to avoiding a charge of plagiarism is to make sure that you assign credit where it is due by providing an appropriate reference for anything in your essay or report which was said, written, drawn, emailed or implied by somebody else.

You need to provide a reference:

• when you are using or referring to somebody else's words or ideas from an article, book, newspaper, TV programme, film, web page, letter or any other medium;
• when you use information gained from an exchange of correspondence or emails with another person or through an interview or in conversation;
• when you copy the exact words or a unique phrase from somewhere;
• when you reprint any diagrams, illustrations, or You do not need to reference:
• when you are writing of your own experience, your own observations, your own thoughts or insights or offering your own conclusions on a subject; 10
• when you are using what is judged to be common knowledge (common sense observations, shared information within your subject area, generally accepted facts ) As a test of this, material is probably common knowledge if - you find the same information undocumented in other sources; - it is information you expect your readers to be familiar with; - the information could be easily found in general reference sources.

5.  When Might the Charge be one of Unacceptable Academic Practice rather than Plagiarism?

Students occasionally misunderstand the concepts being presented here and submit essays or reports where substantial and significant elements of another author's work are used and acknowledged. It is clear that such an essay or report cannot satisfy the normal assessment criteria to:

• use your own words;
• provide a critical commentary on existing literature;
• aim for novelty and originality;
• demonstrate your understanding of the subject area by

It is thus likely in such a case that the outcome will be a fail mark for the particular piece of work concerned
