Academic Integrity Guide: Academic Integrity Starter Guide

About the Starter Guide

Here in the library, we have been working on the development of a guide which will serve as an introduction to academic integrity for the complete beginner. We know that whether you have come to us from the Irish secondary school system, another academic institution or country, or have been out of education for some time, many of these concepts will be unfamiliar or new to you. We hope this guide will help you to get to grips with these ideas, but it is not the only resource available to you - we are here to help, so come ask us if you have any questions or worries!

The Starter Guide includes...

  • What academic integrity is and why it is important.
  • NCI staff and student perspectives on academic integrity.
  • Examples of academic integrity do's and don'ts.
  • Information about plagiarism and how to avoid it.
  • A glossary of academic integrity terms, as well as some other terms you might encounter in your studies.
  • Links to further resources. 
  • ...and more!
