Plagiarism Policy - UbiCC Journal

Ubiquitous Computing and Communication Journal

Respecting intellectual property rights is a foundational principle of the UbiCC's Codes of Ethics. Plagiarism, in which one misrepresents ideas, words, computer codes or other creative expression as one's own, is a clear violation of such ethical principles. Plagiarism can also represent a violation of copyright law, punishable by statute. Plagiarism manifests itself in a variety of forms, including

Verbatim copying, near-verbatim copying, or purposely paraphrasing portions of another author's paper;
Copying elements of another author's paper, such as equations or illustrations that are not common knowledge, or copying or purposely paraphrasing sentences without citing the source; and
Verbatim copying of portions of another author's paper with citing but not clearly differentiating what text has been copied (e.g., not applying quotation marks correctly) and/or not citing the source correctly.
