Reproducibility and transparency are essential cornerstones of scientific work. This also applies to the resources used in academic work. In courses, lecturers have long been able to define which aids they wish to prohibit by specifying unauthorised aids. In addition, permitted and unauthorised practices in seminars and final theses can be defined by supervisors.

For final theses and seminar papers, the WU recommends in any case that used aids shall be listed collectively in a list of aids.

A description of the scope of application can be found in the WU policy List of Aids Used. An example for the List of Aids Used (section: which aids are listed?) contains some sample entries to discuss the use. There is also a corresponding template that students can attach directly to their work.
