Short Description
We will present data from a survey of over 1000 science students regarding source use, citation and academic dishonesty. Preliminary analysis of this data suggests that incoming freshmen have a poor understanding of which sources are appropriate, how to cite them and have trouble recognizing subtle examples of academic dishonesty.
Keywords
Science majors, Freshman college students, Source use, Citation, Academic dishonesty, Source evaluation
