Academic integrity and plagiarism:

Academic integrity is about an honest presentation of your academic work. It means acknowledging the work of others while developing your own insights, knowledge and ideas.

• Provided a reference list of the publication details so your reader can locate the source if necessary. This includes material taken from Internet sites.

If you do not acknowledge the sources of your material, you may be accused of plagiarism because you have passed off the work and ideas of another person without appropriate referencing, as if they were your own.
