Academic honesty includes students and academics being honest in their academic activities, respecting the rights and laws of others, referencing the owners of opinions and thoughts that do not belong to them, not deceiving anyone, being respectful to those around, not gaining unfair advantage, and not gaining benefits through the wrong method.
Academic honesty entails not doing to others what you would not like done to yourself. Academic honesty also includes having a sense of responsibility and duty. At the same time, striving for personal development is also a part of academic honesty. A person should work to train himself in the highest competence, especially in his own profession, in proportion to his own abilities and the possibilities of his environment. He can decide whether the activities and behaviors are right or not by evaluating them with conscience.
Academic honesty is the most important and fundamental value in education and research activities. Demonstrating academic honesty also provides improvement and development. Academic honesty also contributes to fair competition among individuals. In this respect, our university sensitively expects students and academicians to demonstrate academic honesty in their educational activities and research.
