Student Information

Advice on Plagiarism:

The Trust is aware that not all academic institutions in the developing world offer information on plagiarism. Plagiarism is a serious breach of academic integrity, and can have serious consequences for your future career as a scientist. Therefore, it is of utmost importance that students understand the meaning of plagiarism and how to avoid it. A full explanation of what plagiarism is, can be found by clicking here.

There are a number of different websites that offer quite extensive information about plagiarism and how to avoid it. This article found on the University of Oxford website is a good example.

All students and scientists should be aware that the Trust will reject a report if it is found to plagiarise another academic's work. Persons found to be guilty of plagiarism will be required to re-write the report. Academic institutions will normally treat plagiarism very seriously, and so it is recommended that the Trust's grantees understand what plagiarism is, and how to avoid it before submitting a report.
