How to cite properly and avoid plagiarism REFERENCING Materials taken from Office of Student Judicial Affairs, University of California, Davis

What is plagiarism? Plagiarism means using another’s work without giving credit. If you use others’ words, you must put them in quotation marks and cite your source. You must also give citations when using others’ ideas, even if you have paraphrased those ideas in your own words.

Why be concerned about plagiarism? If you plagiarize, you are cheating yourself. Plagiarism is dishonest and/or misleading, Plagiarism violates the Code of Academic Conduct Plagiarism devalues others’ original work. It is wrong to take or use property (an author’s work)

Guidelines for Avoiding Plagiarism Use your own words and ideas. Practice is essential to learning. Each time you choose your words, order your thoughts, and convey your ideas, you can improve your writing. Give credit for copied, adapted, or paraphrased material. If you copy and use another’s exact words, you must use quotation marks and cite the source. If you adapt a chart or paraphrase a sentence, you must still cite your source. Paraphrasing is restating the author’s ideas, information, and meaning in your own words (see examples).

Avoid using others work with minor “cosmetic” changes. Examples: using “less” for “fewer,”, reversing the order of a sentence, changing terms in a computer code, or altering a spreadsheet layout. If the work is essentially the same as your source, give credit. There are no “freebies.” Always cite words, information and ideas that you use if they are new to you (learned in your research). No matter where you find it – even in on the Internet or in an encyclopedia – you cite it!

Beware of “common knowledge.” You may not have to cite “common knowledge,” but the fact must really be commonly known. That Soekarno was the first president of Indonesian republic is common knowledge; that Soekarno married a very young girl from Tenggarong, East Kalimantan, before he died is not.

Assignment Refine your Review of Previous Studies by including: 1. a short description of the work (1-3 sentences) 2. the argument/finding of the work For item 1 & 2, remember to paraphrase and cite properly using MLA. 3. the difference of the work from your own work. It will be very good if you can offer what is not yet discussed by the other works.
