Plagiarism: Both bachelor's degree theses and master's degree theses require an independent and critical reworking of the scientific literature under study. Statements, paragraphs, or parts of text taken from other works without explicit indication of the source will not be tolerated. In order to ensure compliance with the University's Code of Ethics, graduating students are required to use the Turnitin anti-plagiarism software (https://www.biblio.units.it/SebinaOpac/article/utilizza-il-software-anti...) to check the degree of similarity between their paper/thesis and previously published documents.

The results of the check must be presented to the supervisor during or at the end of the writing process, according to the procedures agreed upon with the supervisor. In the event of non-original writing of the paper/thesis, the supervisor shall inform the Management, the Academic Secretariat, and any co-supervisors, reporting the possible violation of the University Code of Ethics by the thesis student. The supervisor has the right to withdraw from their role as supervisor. 

If the degree application has already been submitted, the supervisor must forward a request for cancellation to the Careers Office, copying in the Academic Secretariat. The student is required to promptly notify the Management and the Academic Secretariat of the name of the new supervisor, informing them of what has happened. The Academic Secretariat will verify that the new supervisor has been adequately informed and will invite him/her to check the originality of the work submitted, including through the plagiarism detection tools made available by the University.
