Plagiarism

Scientific misconduct in seminars: Plagiarism & generative AI use

Plagiarism is a form of intellectual theft and leads to serious sanctions. The essence of plagiarism is to pass off scientific findings, hypotheses, ideas, or formulations of others as one's own. Unauthorised use under presumption of authorship exists when the respective source (name of the author and other relevant information such as title of the work, place and date of publication, page number) is omitted. This applies to both, direct quotations and paraphrases. The use of generative AI tools can also constitute a form of plagiarism. 

At the Chair of English Studies, the use of generative AI tools is not permitted in term papers, BA-theses, and MA-theses.
