学术不诚信类型 Academic misconduct
学术不端（academic malpractice）包括但不限于以下类型：
| # | 原文 Policy wording | 释义 |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Plagiarism: The act of using ideas, words, or creations from either humans or digital systems, such as Generative Artificial intelligence, without proper attribution or permission and presenting them, either intentionally or unwittingly, as one’s own work. Plagiarism encompasses a range of practices beyond just verbatim (word for word) copying. It also includes instances of close paraphrasing, minimal adaptation, and other actions that involve reproducing the work of another source in a way that means the assessed work lacks appropriate originality or proper referencing. | 剽窃（Plagiarism）指未经恰当署名或许可，使用他人或数字系统（如生成式人工智能）的思想、文字或创作，有意或无意地将其作为自己的作品呈现；不仅限于逐字抄袭，也包括近似改写、轻微改动等使作品缺乏原创性或未恰当引用的行为。 |
| 2 | Self-plagiarism: the submission, in whole or in part, of a student’s own work, where that work has been submitted for a different assessment, either at the University or at a different institution. Students who use a previous piece of work or publication in a future piece of work should ensure that they properly reference themselves and the extent of such use should not be excessive. | 自我剽窃（Self-plagiarism）是指将自己的作业上交到不同的评估，或者上交此前已经评估过的作业。 |
| 3 | Collusion: when a student or students permit or condone another student or students, to share a piece of work subject to assessment in order to gain a mark or grade to which they are not entitled. Students who allow another student to copy their work are also committing collusion and both the copier and the provider of the work are liable to be penalised. The methods of collusion may include, but are not limited to, sharing of work, ideas or plans by social media or other electronic communication means, and/or physical sharing of work, ideas or plans. Collusion may happen through an exchange or communication outside of an assessment submission and/or at the time of an assessment submission. | 共谋（Collusion）指的是未经允许与其他学生一起提交本该独立完成的作品，互相抄袭等；方式包括通过社交媒体等电子通讯手段或线下分享作品、想法或计划。 |
| 4 | Fabrication or falsification of results, figures or data: the presentation or inclusion in a piece of work, by individual students or groups of students, of figures or any data (quantitative or qualitative) which have been made up or altered and which have no basis in verifiable sources; this may or may not involve other instances of academic malpractice. | 伪造（Falsification）是指提供任何虚构的数据、证据、参考文献以及实验结果的行为。 |
| 5 | Examination malpractice: when a student, during an examination, intentionally or unwittingly contravenes set exam conditions, such as by using or possessing unauthorised materials, software or devices, sharing (including electronically) exam questions, answers or related information (e.g. discussions) with others, and sitting or allowing someone to sit an examination in place of the student supposed to be taking the examination (this list should not be considered to be exhaustive). The student need not have gained a benefit from the malpractice nor does the input need to be pertinent for this definition to be met. This definition applies to all forms of exams including ‘in-person’ exams (e.g. based in an ‘exam hall’) and/or online exams. | 考试作弊：指在考试时违反考试纪律，或未经允许携带电子产品进入考场。 |
| 6 | Contract cheating: the commissioning of a piece of work by a third party, beyond basic proofreading. This may be where a student engages an essay mill or individual to request that they produce a piece of assessed work, in full or in part, for the student. This may also include the use of crowdsourcing, where a student obtains content from, or allows editing by, others and fails to acknowledge the contribution. Contract cheating may most often be associated with summative and/or coursework assessments, but may also be found in online examinations. | 合同作弊通常指的是代写、代考。 |
