Políticas de plagio: ¿Qué es el plagio para la UNAD? El plagio está definido por el diccionario de la Real Academia como la acción de "copiar en lo
sustancial obras ajenas, dándolas como propias". Por tanto el plagio es una falta grave: es el equivalente en el ámbito académico, al robo. Un estudiante
que plagia no se toma su educación en serio, y no respeta el trabajo intelectual ajeno.
No existe plagio pequeño. Si un estudiante hace uso de cualquier porción del trabajo de otra persona, y no documenta su fuente, está cometiendo un acto
de plagio. Ahora, es evidente que todos contamos con las ideas de otros a la hora de presentar las nuestras, y que nuestro conocimiento se basa en el
conocimiento de los demás. Pero cuando nos apoyamos en el trabajo de otros, la honestidad académica requiere que anunciemos explícitamente el
hecho que estamos usando una fuente externa, ya sea por medio de una cita o por medio de un paráfrasis anotado (estos términos serán definidos más
adelante). Cuando hacemos una cita o un paráfrasis, identificamos claramente nuestra fuente, no sólo para dar reconocimiento a su autor, sino para que
el lector pueda referirse al original si así lo desea.
Existen circunstancias académicas en las cuales, excepcionalmente, no es aceptable citar o parafrasear el trabajo de otros. Por ejemplo, si un docente
asigna a sus estudiantes una tarea en la cual se pide claramente que los estudiantes respondan utilizando sus ideas y palabras exclusivamente, en ese
caso el estudiante no deberá apelar a fuentes externas aún, si éstas estuvieran referenciadas adecuadamente.
