Read actively and critically

Information caption:

Academic Integrity and smart reading practices are closely related

When you read the literature in your discipline, you are participating directly in academic culture in that particular field Academic journal articles have been

carefully screened before publication and the writers have closely followed academicrules

Paying close attention to how these texts are written, as well as to their content, will help you to practise these rules effectively in your own writing One way to engage with academic texts is to read actively This means much more than passively

understanding words or phrases

Activity text:

“Beyond incidental social contact, the study sought to investigate whether

pet-facilitated social contacts translate into tangible friendships or sources of social support Our findings affirmed this premise, countering an earlier UK study which concluded casual interactions facilitated by dogs do not necessarily enhance social networks or social support Specifically, we found that across the four cities, around aquarter of pet owners who got to know people in the neighborhood through their pet considered one or more of the people they met to be friends, and 42% of pet owners had received one or more forms of social support from people met through their pet

It is pertinent to note the wording of the question asked about actual support

received, and was not just about the perceived or hypothetical availability of social support.”

considerations into business strategy and planning, and pinpoint how road-mapping and technological foresight methods could be successfully applied to sustainability Although this contribution underlines the potential use of roadmapping for supportingthe implementation of sustainability strategies, it does not give any indication about how a sustainability roadmap could be designed and does not provide evidence of itspractical application.”
