W HAT IS A SCHOLARLY ARTICLE ? Scholarly articles have undergone a peer review process prior to being published in a reputable journal. According to the Encyclopedia of Evaluation, peer review is:Encyclopedia of Evaluation Peer review refers generally to the evaluation of professional performance or products by other professionals and, more specifically, to a set of procedures for evaluating grant proposals and manuscripts submitted for publication. For peer-reviewed journals, content-matter specialists are asked to judge a manuscript, often using specified criteria and blinded to the author's identity. The journal editor considers reviewers' comments and decides whether the paper should be published, rejected, or revised and resubmitted. Similar procedures are used to review grant applications. Critiques of the peer review process focus on the low reliability of reviewers' recommendations, but the goal of peer review is to make good and defensible judgments rather than to have high reliability. Peer review is an example of an expertise-oriented approach to evaluation.

A CADEMIC I NTEGRITY & P LAGIARISM Your ideas supported by the research of others Paraphrase or direct quote Always cite ideas of others Readers can easily find ideas or facts referenced in your paper Copy & paste writing of others Weak paraphrasing does not alter the original author’s writing sufficiently Too many direct quotations No citations to ideas of others Improper citations Readers are unable to verify facts or ideas presented in your paper Scholarly ResearchPlagiarism

D EFINING & S OLVING P LAGIARISM Using another’s words without acknowledgement Solution: Use quotation marks or paraphrase and cite the source with in text citation Using another’s ideas without acknowledgement Solution: Thoroughly use in text citations to acknowledge work of others; If in doubt, cite! Insufficiently acknowledging the contributions of another’s ideas to your own research (i.e.-paraphrasing a paragraph but only citing a direct quote at the end) Solution: Thoroughly use in text citations to acknowledge work of others; If in doubt, cite! “I forgot I read that idea in that article, so I didn’t cite it.” Solution: Take good notes throughout the research process. A citation management tool like Refworks helps you stay organized. “I missed that reference when I went back through my first draft to add citations.” Solution: Note sources throughout notes, outlines, and drafts.
