Strategies to promote academic integrity and professional ethics

Section 1

There has been a significant relationship between academic integrity and writing depicting the need for acknowledging all sources included in the work. It suggests the inclusion of references for pursuing integrity. The writer cannot mention the work of any other author without quoting the actual author. The relationship between academic integrity and writing is also crucial for avoiding plagiarism. Having command on academic writing is a generic skill that is needed for completing a number of courses and academic programs. Students who aim at building adequate writing competency needs to learn about academic integrity. This is also important for the research works that students have to complete in their degrees. The purpose of maintaining academic integrity is to pursue originality of the work. It is not appropriate to present someone's work without mentioning the author's name.

The relationship between professional practices and scholarly ethics stresses following the code of ethics of the Association of Institutional Research. The Code of Ethics suggests that it is curial to provide an ethical statement for conducting research. The broad ethical statement is used for guiding professional lives and determining relevant considerations in case of ethical uncertainties. It stresses that individuals must learn ethical standards before conducting research. The code of ethics is applicable to the academic institutes, research institutes and universities. The individuals must be compatible with institutional values and codes. The document must change and is shaped as the practice of institutional research evolves and develop. The relationship between professional practice and scholarly ethics also states accepting technical standards and maintaining objectivity. The principles of objectivity involve an unbiased attitude and avoiding conflict of interest. The researcher must possess an unbiased attitude during the process of conducting research. This also reflects adopting a neutral approach during the process of data collection and process of inquiring respondents. Conflicts are resolved by understanding the responsibility as a researcher and offering complete information to the participants of research. The scholarly ethics also emphasize on taking consent from the participants of the research. Without information them about the purpose of research, it is not possible to comply with the ethical standards. Grammarly and Safe Assign will be used for paraphrasing because replicating original work is not ethical. By paraphrasing and adding reference the academic integrity is maintained CITATION Peg10 \l 1033 (Piascik & Brazeau, 2010).

I intend to pursue different strategies for maintaining integrity and ethics in my work such as by using in-text citation.

The technique will be adopted for maintaining the originality of work because without a reference it would be unethical to add other scholar’s work.
