Section 1
An Introduction including a description of Academic Integrity
Academic integrity is the concept that an educator, researcher and other
individuals of the academic community behave with honesty, respect and trust when
engaged in academic activity. This is the foundation of the institution's goal to enable
the interchange of ideas and the advancement of knowledge through being honest
and trusting in one another (Lee, 2018). Academic integrity is all about doing your
own research, presenting it and earning recognition for it. It is built on five pillars,
which are described below:
Honesty: Honesty is a necessary component of education, learning, research
and service. This all comes down to honesty, that involves being open about our
personal thoughts as well as those acquired from others.
Trust: It is another foundation of academic activity that allows for autonomous
collaboration, data sharing and the dissemination of new ideas. This aspect in other
individuals and in the society facilitates working connections, which are primarily
fostered by faculties who provide clear guidelines for projects and work evaluation,
as well as by learners who are honest and sincere (Bahl and King, 2018).
