research-based works. Thisproblem is also a result of student confusion on who the audience is for their writing—scholarlywriting is not addressed to the instructor but to their professional peers in the discipline.14 Mostfaculty will encourage the use of passive voice to address these issues. This avoids the firstperson problem that students fall into, and helps create the proper academic tone.Citation and Attribution of Sources and Academic HonestyThe concept of research ethics and academic honesty in regard to written submissions bygraduate students is of significant importance to all graduate faculty members. Unfortunately,many graduate students do not know or fully understand the concept of academic honesty orproper attribution of sources
