BRIEF CITATION GUIDES

Academic Integrity at Winona State University

"Academic integrity at Winona State University is based on honesty. The university community requires that work produced by students represents their personal efforts and requires that they properly acknowledge the intellectual contributions of others." (Information pertaining to the WSU Student Conduct Policy can be obtained in the Student Life & Development Office, Kryzsko Commons, Room 129.)

Plagiarism is one example of unacceptable behavior that will be viewed as a violation of the Academic Integrity Policy. Plagiarism is "using the words of ideas of another writer without proper acknowledgement, so that they seem as if they are your own. Plagiarism includes behavior such as copying someone else's work word for word, rewriting someone else's work with only minor word changes, and/or summarizing someone else's work without acknowledging the source."
