The University of Manchester

The University has adopted the following principles, building on existing frameworks for academic integrity and emerging guidance on AI. All staff and students using or developing AI are personally responsible for adhering to these. Transparency Always make clear when and how you have used AI in a process or in producing an output, citing relevant details.

There is an expectation that work submitted by a student for assessment should contain their own original work and provide an honest representation of their understanding of the subject. Students should declare any use of generative AI in preparing work for assessment, and explain its role. Submitting work created by Generative AI as their own, or to misrepresent their understanding of the subject, is plagiarism and will be dealt with in accordance with the University’s Academic Malpractice Procedure.

a) AI Prohibited: AI is not permitted or is unable to be used in this assessment. The assessment information should include additional information such as examples or detail of what is not permitted, if it is likely to provide clarity for students.

b) AI Minimal: AI is permitted to be used in this assessment in limited ways that contribute to the presentation (for example surface level use to improve grammar, fluency, and formatting) without changing the ideas, arguments or conclusions developed by the student. The assessment information must set out what is acceptable AI use. Students who do not wish to personally use AI tools can undertake the assessment.

Using an AI tool to correct grammar or spelling is acceptable, but where a student uses an AI tool for proofreading work submitted for assessment, they should ensure that use of the tool does not result in substantive changes to the content or meaning of their work or go beyond what is allowed for the assessment.

3.0.2 Within assessed work, students’ failure to document use of Generative AI could be a form of plagiarism contrary to the Academic Malpractice Procedure. Failure to adhere to the terms of an assessment brief is handled on an assessment-by-assessment basis and may be accounted for through the marking process.

4.4.2. If there is a concern, based on indicators of malpractice, that a student may have commissioned a piece of work from a third party, but there is no direct evidence of this, or the information available does not satisfy the balance of probabilities, then in agreement with the School Officer a viva voce can be arranged to give the student the opportunity to demonstrate that they: 4.4.2.1. Produced the work; 4.4.2.2. Undertook the reading and research themselves; 4.4.2.3. Undertook the preparatory work themselves; 4.4.2.4. Understand what they have written. 4.4.3.

The student should be given at least five working days’ notice of the requirement to attend the viva voce. An explanation of what a viva voce is, the purpose of it and the potential outcomes should be outlined in the invitation. It should be made clear that the viva voce is arranged due to the detection of potential academic malpractice and it is to allow the student an opportunity to demonstrate that the work is their own; i

Two members of academic staff (at least one of whom must be a subject specialist) must conduct the viva voce; this will normally be the School Officer and the examiner of the assessment. 4.4.3.4. The student may be accompanied by a person of their choice for support only (normally a fellow student, member of staff or Students’ Union representative). Any individual accompanying the student should under no circumstances participate in the viva voce.

4.4.3.5. Reasonable adjustments must be made to ensure that candidates with additional support needs are not disadvantaged for reasons relating to a long-term medical condition, sensory impairment, specific learning difficulty and /or disability. 4.4.3.6. The viva voce will not normally exceed 45 minutes. 4.4.3.7. Depending on situational circumstances, the viva voce can be conducted via video link. 4.4.3.8. Intensive questions are expected. The questions asked should provide the student with the opportunity to demonstrate that the work is their own. 4.4.3.9. An accurate record

It may be necessary for an administrative member of staff to be present at the viva voce to make the record. The student is entitled to have a copy of the record. 4.4.4. The viva voce can have one of two outcomes: 4.4.4.1. The staff conducting the viva voce will confirm that they accept that the student wrote the work in question; no further action will be taken. The work should then be marked on its own merit, if it has not already been marked. 4.4.4.2. If the st

aff conducting the viva voce still remain doubtful of the authorship of the work in question, or the student admits that it is not their work, then the case should be referred for disciplinary action. The viva voce, in itself, will not result in a penalty being applied; a penalty can only be applied by a disciplinary panel.

5.1. When academic malpractice has been identified following section 4 above, the AUO responsible for assessing the allegation should gather any supplementary information that may be relevant for a disciplinary hearing. In particular, they should enquire as to whether a student has any previous offences for academic malpractice as this will indicate the appropriate panel to refer a case to. This information is usually retained in the student’s School record. This will assist the AUO in determining whether a case can be heard by a Summary Disciplinary Panel (“SDP”) or if the case should be referred to the University Disciplinary Panel (“UDP”).

5.4. The original person who reported the alleged malpractice should not be a member of the disciplinary panel. Additionally, where a student has already been interviewed or attended a viva as part of the information gathering exercise, any future disciplinary panel should not include, as a member of the panel, the same examiner or School Officer.

The University position is that, when used appropriately, AI tools have the potential to enhance teaching and learning and can support inclusivity and accessibility. Output from AI systems must be treated in the same manner by staff and students as work created by another person or persons, used critically and with permitted license, and cited and acknowledged appropriately.

The University recognises the potential of AI to power research and innovation and encourages applications that adhere to the principles for appropriate use. It will seek to support appropriate use by providing equitable access to AI technology and training. Synthesising data Any use of AI to generate data should be completely transparent. Legitimate uses may include synthesising datasets for use in research on scarce or sensitive data, imputing missing data in real datasets or conducting research on generative AI. In such cases the distinction between real and synthesised data should be made clear, and the methods used should be detailed. Using AI to fabricate or manipulate data such as exp

erimental measurements, interview texts or research images, without clear declaration, constitutes research misconduct.

The corresponding author of an academic publication carries ultimate responsibility for its accuracy, balance and transparency. It may be legitimate to use AI in preparing a manuscript for publication, for example, to review the literature or improve writing style, but the corresponding author remains responsible for all content, whether AI-generated material is used verbatim or paraphrased. Specifically, the author should ensure: publishers’ guidelines on the use of AI-generated content are adhered to; any significant use of AI in preparing the manuscript is declared and properly referenced;

When reviewing papers for publication or applications for funding, AI should be used with extreme caution, and any use must be declared to the publisher or funder. Inappropriate use of AI can be considered research misconduct. Reviewers should avoid: breaching a duty of confidentiality by uploading parts of a document under review to an AI service, or writing prompts that contain confidential information; relying on AI tools when making reviewing decisions, rather than using their own judgment; using AI when it is specifically prohibited by the publisher or funder seeking the review.

Where the use of AI is encouraged or required, the University must ensure students have equitable access to tools at no additional cost to themselves. Where the use of AI requires students to provide personal data to a third party, an alternative mechanism must be available that does not disadvantage any student who declines to provide such data. Students must be made aware of how third-party systems use their data, including their authored prompts and other uploaded content.
