This policy applies to all individuals at the College engaged in any research, whether or not such research is supported by external funding.

Research misconduct means fabrication, falsification, plagiarism, or other serious deviation from accepted practices within the relevant scholarly community for proposing, conducting, or reporting research. It does not include honest error or honest differences in interpretations or judgments of data.

The Dean will appoint the Research Integrity Officer (“RIO”) who will have primary responsibility for implementation of the procedures set forth in this document.

Plagiarism is the academic use of “someone else’s language, ideas, or other original (not common-knowledge) material without acknowledging its source. This definition applies to texts published in print or online, to manuscripts, and to the work of other student writers” (CWPA website).

1. Quoting the exact words of one’s source without putting them in quotation marks and naming the source in the text or in an endnote or footnote, or, when paraphrasing a source, failing to acknowledge one’s source. The exception is for ordinary factual information that is regarded as common property.

2. Substantive contributions of collaborators and students must be recognized.

3. Unpublished work of other researchers and scholars may be cited only with due acknowledgement and with permission according to the accepted practices of the discipline.

Papers must be the original work of the author(s) and may not include any AI-generated content. The use of generative AI tools will be considered a form of plagiarism and is therefore disallowed. Please note that an AI detector program may be used to detect AI-driven work.

Scripps College expects each student to uphold the highest principles of academic honesty and integrity. Academic dishonesty of any kind destroys our trust in one another, devalues the Scripps community, and damages intellectual and personal development. It is not tolerated at Scripps and may result in one or more penalties, including suspension or expulsion; a full discussion of such penalties as well as related academic policies and procedures can be found in the Catalog.

Whether or not such an informal discussion takes place, as soon as a faculty member suspects that a student has committed an act of academic dishonesty, the faculty member has an obligation to so inform the dean of students of the suspected infraction by phone call or in person; no written record of the initial conversation will be kept.
