Fabrication

Fabrication is inventing information. Although fabrication may involve plagiarism, fabrication does not include necessarily the stealing of ideas from another writer. Fabrication, however, is dishonest. With fabrication the writer or speaker is deceiving an audience by presenting work as based on real, established facts when those facts do not exist. Some selected examples of fabrication would include:

1. Using false citations, i.e., falsely attributing information or ideas to an authoritative source.
2. Using graphs or statistical information not supported by existing data based on actual research.
3. Falsely claiming that one did formal research in support of a paper or speech.
4. Reporting data that was not actually collected.
5. Knowingly aiding any of the above offenses.
6. Duplicating, redistributing, editing, or sharing Lecture Capture content by students is prohibited without the express, written permission of the course instructor.
