    "Academic dishonesty is issue of concern for teachers, students, and institutions of higher education.

    Grijalva, T.C., Kerkvliet, J., & Nowell, C. (2006)

    "It is a universal practice for scholars and students to reinforce their claims with the findings and conclusions of other people, but it is a
    requirement that they disclose sources of unique idea or information that they have used to support their work. This practice is based on very
    strict rules of honesty and total disclosure of sources of information (facts, figures, unique ideas or expressions, conclusions and
    recommendations), which gives the academe its enviable integrity; (...)". (OYEKAN, 2013)
    III. University policies
