Academic integrity in the IB is a principle informed by the attributes of the IB Learner Profile. In teaching, learning and assessment, academic integrity serves to promote personal integrity and engender respect for others and the integrity of their work. Upholding academic integrity also helps to ensure that all students have an equal opportunity to demonstrate the knowledge and skills they acquire during their studies. As stated in the IB Learner Profile, all members of the IB community must strive to be “principled”, acting with “integrity and honesty, with a strong sense of fairness and justice, and with respect for the dignity and rights of people everywhere”.

When you conduct research you must give credit to all the sources from which you found the material you used in your project. This is called citing your sources. You must do it whenever you use a complete piece of someone else's material (like a quotation, a picture, a song, statistical data), and you must also do it even if you only use a part of the material (e.g. someone else's idea that you put into your own words). If you do not cite your sources, you are committing plagiarism by calling someone else's work your own.
