PLAGIARISM
PLEASE NOTE: Not even the best source exempts delegates from coming up with their own ideas and suggestions and framing them in their own words.
Plagiarism will not be tolerated at any point by the NMUN Conference. Delegates should be aware that position papers and draft resolutions are read and evaluated by NMUN staff that have a profound knowledge of the topics and have prepared committee and agenda items for months. This enables our volunteers to identify and report incidences of plagiarism. |
Position Paper Instructions
Please pay careful attention to the following guidelines when drafting and submitting your position papers. Only those delegations that follow the submission guidelines will be eligible for position paper awards.
