Academic Integrity is an important pillar of teaching and learning. Learning to conduct themselves with Academic Integrity is a key part of the educational process for students at NSCC. High standards of Academic Integrity are indispensable to ensuring that NSCC graduates are of the highest possible quality and, thus, to safeguarding NSCC’s reputation as a leading institution. (NSCC, 2015, p.1)
More information about NSCC's academic policies is available on the Policies & Procedures webpage.
Academic integrity is a fundamental value in an academic community devoted to the "creation, preservation, and dissemination of knowledge" (Yale College, 2015, para. 1). At NSCC, it is essential that students, faculty and staff acknowledge the contributions of others in their own work by properly documenting their sources of information.
Discovering how to use others’ work to advance your own is a key part of learning; even the greatest scholars build on their predecessors’ achievements. Understanding how to incorporate others’ points into your own arguments, and how to acknowledge them properly, is one sign of maturing scholarship (Yale College, 2015).
The Ethics of Online Research
This volume focuses on the ethics of internet and social networking research exploring the challenges faced by researchers making use of social media and big data in their research. The internet, the world wide web and social media - indeed all forms of online communications - are attractive fields of research across a range of disciplines. They offer opportunities for methodological initiatives and innovations in research and easily accessed, massive amounts of primary and secondary data sources. This collection examines the new challenges posed by data generated online, explores how researchers are addressing those ethical challenges, and provides rich case studies of ethical decision making in the digital age.
