Many university students mix up plagiarism and copyright infringement — and both can carry serious academic consequences at NTU.
Plagiarism means using another person's ideas or work without proper attribution — this is an academic offense handled by your institution.
Copyright infringement means using copyrighted material without the owner's permission — this is a legal matter under Singapore law.
It is possible to commit one without the other, but both violate NTU's academic integrity standards.
NTU Library is here to help you navigate these issues:
📚 Zotero and Mendeley workshops for reference management
📚 Access to plagiarism-detection software
📚 Individual citation consultation appointments
📚 Creative Commons licensing and public domain guides
Start at the NTU Library website (https://library.ntu.edu.sg) for all these free resources. Using knowledge ethically is what distinguishes outstanding scholars.
