Academic integrity is important for a person, universities as
well as for creation of innovative and new ideas (Hart, 2017).
Academic integrity includes different values like trust,
honesty, respect, fairness, courage, responsibilities. These
values are challenged by students on daily basis as if students
is not following any rules as well as regulation related to
academic integrity, this can create impact on studies of
students by termination of student form university, penalties.
This also results in negative impact on image as well as
reputation of universities. If students maintaining academic
integrity while studying it helps them to develop their
knowledge, enhance skills and increase creativity of a person.
Plagiarism refers to taking out idea of other in writing and
using it as own’s name without giving them credit or without
their knowledge (Nelson and Annetta, 2016). This can create
impact in future as it damages healthy relationship of
colleagues as well as professors.
Plagiarism is one of problems faced by students and teachers
while writing of any paper (Keener, 2017). It creates
problems for students as they need to face penalties, for this
or termination from universities. Teachers are facing difficulty
in helps students to avoid these plagiarisms in their content.
