A GARP member prepares a research note that uses a colleague's statistical model description, copied nearly word for word from an internal paper, and presents it as her own work. Which GARP Code of Conduct principle is most directly breached?
The member breached the Code by failing to credit another person's work and misrepresenting authorship. GARP members must not plagiarize and must acknowledge the contributions of others, so presenting a colleague's model description as her own violates professional integrity.
