Research and how to avoid Plagiarism Magical skills for a lifetime of learning

“There is an expiry date on blaming your parents for steering you in the wrong direction. The moment you are old enough to take the wheel, the responsibility lies with you.” (Rowling, 2008) Rowling, J 2008 Harry Potter author J.K. Rowling's 2008 Harvard Commencement address,Harvard Magazine, Last Accessed May 2009, http://www.quotationspage.com

What to record for a book [Author last name], [Author first name initial] [Year], [Title of Work] , [Publisher], [Location]. Fukuyama, F 2010 Where is Penny, Penguin Books, London.

So now how to research Where do we look for good information?

Your entries may include… Books Magazine articles Newspaper articles Film, filmstrip, videotape TV or radio broadcast Website CD Rom or electronic journal Scholarly journal Translated article Government document interview

Where do I find these sources

Some places to look Library –for paper and online resources Online books Online Databases Internet sites TV both live and online DVDs of documentaries Museums

What to record For books, record: The author’s or editor’s name (or names) The year the book was published The title of the book If it is an edition other than the first The city the book was published in The name of the publisher

What to record For journal articles record: The author’s name or names The year in which the journal was published The title of the article The title of the journal The page number/s of the article in the journal As much other information as you can find about the journal, for example the volume and issue numbers

What to record For electronic resources, try to collect all the same information as per books and journals Also collect the following: date you accessed the source The electronic address or email The type of electronic resource (email, discussion forum, WWW page, etc) In addition to these details, when you are taking notes, if you copy direct quotations or if you put the author’s ideas in your own words, write down the page numbers you got the information from.

Top Referencing Tips Your reference should help your reader to recover your source easily. If it cannot be found again, don’t reference it. Be consistent with layout and punctuation. Only list references you have read yourself. Do not list sources that are mentioned in the works you have seen when compiling your reference list. There will not be guidance for every type or variation of a source. Use the nearest style you can find to fit the source. If in doubt, do what your teacher says, not what the library says or what the referencing system says. Only teachers give and take away marks.

Database and online resources Questia School – www.questiaschool.com Facts on File - http://online.infobaselearning.com/Default.asp Access Credentials

Your Mission Today: Locate 3-5 sources on your topic. Write Harvard Cited style entry for each source. Look for any biographical info./credentials you can find about the author and note them. Scan the source and note the content. Look at a few specific passages that catch your eye—summarize them. Write your bibliography from your notes.
