Guidelines for Wolfram|Alpha Use 1
by Sydney Lewis• Chegg Experts, Q&A Experts
Several Q&A community members have asked about whether Wolfram|Alpha can be used to provide solutions on the Q&A boards; a great question that we needed to research before answering. We’ve broken down Wolfram|Alpha’s [complicated] Terms of Use to give you guys some guidelines on what’s acceptable.
WolfRam|Alpha’s Policy:(adapted from Wolfram|Alpha’s Terms of Use)
*.You may useanyresults from Wolfram|Alpha foranypersonal, non-commercial purpose, including occasional purposes related to your job.
*.You may post results on non-commercial websites and blogs, as long as you properly credit Wolfram|Alpha.
Possible consequences:Failure to properly attribute results from Wolfram|Alpha may constitute academic plagiarism or a violation of copyright law.
To summarize:Because you are posting on the Q&A boards personally (you’re not employed by Chegg, nor is anyone paying you to use Wolfram|Alpha), we see no problem inyouchoosing to use Wolfram|Alpha to assist with your solution provided you follow their guidelines for citations (see below). Ifyouchoose to violate Wolfram|Alpha’s guidelines, thenyoupersonally risk violating copyright law and committing academic plagiarism.
It’s up to the asker to select a single Best Answer that is then rated and awarded points. Whether the asker likes a solution generated by Wolfram|Alpha and selects it as the Best Answer is a matter of personal preference and is beyond Chegg’s control. It seems silly for askers to give away points for a Wolfram solution that they could generate themselves, so it’s logical that askers will prefer a solution that is original and choose that solution as the Best Answer.
How to properly attribute results from Wolfram|Alpha:
*.If you make results from Wolfram|Alpha available to anyone else (which you do on the Q&A boards), you must include attribution indicating that the results came from Wolfram|Alpha.
*.Show attribution by linking to the specific query that generated the results you used.
*.To make things easy, follow the sample format given on Wolfram|Alpha’s website:
If you have any additional questions about Wolfram|Alpha, please let us know! Otherwise, linking to instances of Wolfram|Alpha use on the G+ community page is no longer necessary. Thanks!
