Polticas de plagio: Qu es el plagio para la UNAD? El plagio est definido por el diccionario de la Real Academia como la accin de "copiar en lo
sustancial obras ajenas, dndolas como propias". Por tanto el plagio es una falta grave: es el equivalente en el mbito acadmico, al robo. Un estudiante
que plagia no se toma su educacin en serio, y no respeta el trabajo intelectual ajeno.

No existe plagio pequeo. Si un estudiante hace uso de cualquier porcin del trabajo de otra persona, y no documenta su fuente, est 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 dems. Pero cuando nos apoyamos en el trabajo de otros, la honestidad acadmica requiere que anunciemos explcitamente el
hecho que estamos usando una fuente externa, ya sea por medio de una cita o por medio de un parfrasis anotado (estos trminos sern definidos ms
adelante). Cuando hacemos una cita o un parfrasis, identificamos claramente nuestra fuente, no slo para dar reconocimiento a su autor, sino para que
el lector pueda referirse al original si as lo desea.

Existen circunstancias acadmicas 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 deber apelar a fuentes externas an, si stas estuvieran referenciadas adecuadamente.
