It is important that there is no confusion about the subject of plagiarism at research universities and universities of applied sciences. The large amount of material available on the Internet means that doubts may arise as to the ownership and originality of a piece of work, for example an assignment submitted by a student. But plagiarism is not always the result of malicious intent; there is also such a thing as unintentional plagiarism. This may arise when it is not clear what material you can or cannot use or how you can do so. Preventing plagiarism demands just as much attention as tracking it down after the fact.
In this factsheet you will find rules drawn up from a legal perspective which can help teaching staff and students, as well as researchers and authors, when they wish to quote or re-use material.
