Research Review Report (RRR) from the Engineering Research Skills unit, having now
completed the project
When using their RRR, students must follow University of Bristol regulations [1] on :
(a) Plagiarism – treat the RRR as you would any other piece of literature: re-used sentences
must be in quotes “” and correctly referenced, and any ideas, concepts, or figures must be
explicitly referenced.
(b) Re-use of previously assessed material (Section 4.1-4.3 of regulations)
Any re-used material will not contribute to the thesis mark since it has already been used in
the RRR
