Anti-Plagiarism & Academic Integrity Policy

Institution: Scientist Vs Labor
Website: ScientistVsLabor.com


1. Institutional Commitment

Scientist Vs Labor is committed to maintaining the highest standards of academic integrity, intellectual honesty, and professional responsibility.

As an AI-focused training institute, we recognize that:

  • Knowledge integrity is foundational to credibility
  • Ethical practice precedes technical capability
  • Responsible AI usage must be paired with original intellectual effort

This policy establishes clear standards regarding plagiarism, originality, authorship, and ethical submission of work.


2. Definition of Academic Integrity

Academic integrity requires that all participants:

  • Submit original work
  • Accurately attribute sources
  • Avoid misrepresentation
  • Engage honestly in assessments
  • Respect intellectual property

Integrity is a core component of professional AI system development.


3. Definition of Plagiarism

Plagiarism includes, but is not limited to:

  • Copying text, ideas, or frameworks without attribution
  • Submitting another individual’s work as one’s own
  • Reproducing online content without proper citation
  • Paraphrasing content without credit
  • Using copyrighted material unlawfully
  • Submitting purchased or outsourced work
  • Replicating instructor materials without authorization

Plagiarism may occur intentionally or unintentionally.

Both forms constitute violation.


4. AI-Generated Content & Integrity

Given the nature of our programs, AI tools may be used as part of learning.

However, students must:

  • Understand that AI-generated content is not inherently original
  • Avoid presenting AI outputs as purely human-authored work without modification
  • Apply critical thinking and original structuring
  • Validate AI outputs independently
  • Maintain intellectual ownership of final submissions

AI assistance must not replace independent reasoning.

AI is a tool — not a substitute for intellectual effort.


5. Acceptable Use of AI in Academic Work

AI tools may be used to:

  • Brainstorm ideas
  • Draft preliminary outlines
  • Assist in coding
  • Generate research summaries
  • Improve clarity

However, students must:

  • Meaningfully refine and adapt outputs
  • Demonstrate understanding of submitted work
  • Be able to explain their reasoning

Blind submission of AI output without comprehension is considered a violation.


6. Self-Plagiarism

Self-plagiarism includes:

  • Reusing previously submitted work
  • Submitting identical projects across programs
  • Republishing previous assessments without disclosure

Students must obtain approval before reusing prior work.


7. Collaboration Standards

Collaboration is permitted only where explicitly allowed.

Students must not:

  • Share solutions to assessments
  • Divide work dishonestly
  • Submit group work as individual work
  • Exchange completed assignments

Clear boundaries will be defined per assignment.


8. Intellectual Property Respect

Participants must respect:

  • Instructor materials
  • Peer projects
  • External creators
  • Client work
  • Open-source licensing terms

Unauthorized replication or distribution violates institutional standards.


9. Academic Misconduct

Academic misconduct includes:

  • Fabricating data
  • Falsifying project results
  • Misrepresenting client case studies
  • Claiming fictional outcomes
  • Manipulating performance metrics

Professional credibility requires factual integrity.


10. Detection & Review

Scientist Vs Labor reserves the right to:

  • Review submissions for originality
  • Use plagiarism detection tools
  • Investigate suspicious work
  • Conduct oral reviews to verify authorship
  • Request explanation of submitted material

Failure to demonstrate understanding may result in investigation.


11. Consequences of Violation

Violations may result in:

  • Formal warning
  • Assignment failure
  • Program suspension
  • Permanent removal
  • Revocation of certification
  • Restriction from future enrollment

Severe or repeated violations may lead to legal action where applicable.


12. Certification Integrity

Any certification issued by Scientist Vs Labor represents:

  • Verified skill demonstration
  • Independent competency
  • Authentic project completion

Plagiarism undermines certification validity and may result in revocation.


13. Professional Standard Alignment

This policy aligns with:

  • Global academic integrity principles
  • Professional education standards
  • Ethical AI development norms
  • Intellectual property law awareness

We aim to cultivate professionals whose credibility withstands global scrutiny.

Technical skill without integrity erodes trust.

Integrity sustains long-term impact.
