- All project work is expected to be the original work of individuals/teams submitting it. In particular, please avoid committing either plagiarism or collusion
i. Plagiarism: plagiarism is the offence of attributing someone else’s work to your own name. If you feel it would be helpful to use another author’s own words to illustrate a point that supports your findings, please use quotation marks and clear reference to the author
ii. Collusion: collusion is the offence of submitting work as your own when it has been done jointly with another person/persons. This applies mainly for individual submission and less relevant in the case of team submission
2. ABB respects innovation work in full, and regards plagiarism and collusion offences seriously. An awarded prize or submitted project may be disqualified or withdrawn if plagiarism or collusion are subsequently discovered
