Academic Responsibility

Bucknell subscribes to an on-line service called Turnitin.com that detects similarities between papers you submit to it electronically and text that is on the web. It also looks for matches to papers that students can buy from the many paper mills that are on the web. Information about how to use Turnitin.com is available on theISR web site. If you have any questions, you may contact Bud Hiller in the library at 73288 or dhiller@bucknell.edu .

If you suspect a student plagiarized a print source, you are the best person to look for the source because you are familiar with the literature in your field. This may take time, but if we want our students to take academic responsibility seriously, we need to enforce consistently the university’s policies.
