Avoiding plagiarism,
self-plagiarism, and other questionable writing practices: A guide to ethical
writing
The Office of Research Integrity (ORI),
in recognizing the importance of education in the responsible conduct of
research (RCR), began sponsoring in 2002 the creation of instructional
resources to address this need. The
present guide on avoiding plagiarism and other inappropriate writing practices
was created, in part, to meet this need.
Its purpose is to help students, as well as professionals, identify and
prevent such practices and to develop an awareness of ethical writing. This guide is one of the many products
stemming from ORI’s educational initiatives in the RCR.
