What is Academic Integrity?
The concept of Academic integrity means producing all of your academic work in an honest and trustworthy way. It includes, but not limited to, acknowledging sources of borrowed ideas, presenting accurate data and information, avoiding plagiarism.
It is a code of practice generally adopted and accepted by students, faculty and staff in higher education institutions. As members of the academic community, students and staff have a shared obligation to uphold and maintain high standards of academic integrity in their assignments or research.
What is Plagiarism?
Plagiarism is commonly known as using someone else’s ideas or words in your assignment and present them as your own, without giving proper acknowledgment to the original source.
Plagiarism is serious academic misconduct. Any form of plagiarism can result in disciplinary consequences subject to relevant student conduct regulations set out by respective programmes and schools.
By acting ethically and citing any sources you have consulted, you give credit and show proper respect to the original work of others.

What is Referencing?
Referencing refers the academic practice of acknowledging all the information sources (books, journal articles, images, data, webpages, etc.) that you have included in your scholarly or academic writing. By providing accurate referencing, you give credit and at the same time allow your reader to locate the original source. Additionally, it can help you to avoid unintentional plagiarism.
In-text Citations & Reference List
All proper referencing includes two parts: in-text citations and a detailed reference list. An in-text citation is used within the text of your writing to acknowledge the sources of your information. It gives brief details of the source you are using or referring to, such as the author’s surname and year of publication, while the full details of the source are listed alphabetically by authors’ surname at the end of your paper in the reference list.
Note: There are different citation styles for citing sources, and each has its own rules. APA style may be one of the most common citation styles used at TWC. However, different schools, programmes or lecturers may have their own requirements. If you are unsure which referencing style you are required to use, please consult your course coordinator.
