Plagiarism Plagiarism is the intentional use of ideas, words or statements of another person as one’s own without acknowledgement. Plagiarism is the intentional use of ideas, words or statements of another person as one’s own without acknowledgement.

Examples of Plagiarism Using a paper from a Paper Mill Using a paper from a Paper Mill Using material from Internet Sites without citation Using material from Internet Sites without citation Improper citation Improper citation Improper paraphrasing without citation Improper paraphrasing without citation Improper summarizing without citation Improper summarizing without citation Faking a citation Faking a citation

When Should You Cite? Is it your original idea? Yes No need to Cite No Is the information Common Knowledge? No Must use proper Citation Yes No Need to Cite

Examples Taken from The Plagiarism Handbook by Robert Harris (2001) When quoting a phrase, the author must be identified. An expert in the field of psychology has referred to it as “the absence of personal attribution”. (Sherwood, 1995, p. 354) An expert in the field of psychology has referred to it as “the absence of personal attribution”. (Sherwood, 1995, p. 354) “Survival of the fittest” was seen to be a way of explaining evolution. (Darwin, 1884, p. 32) “Survival of the fittest” was seen to be a way of explaining evolution. (Darwin, 1884, p. 32)

Parts of sentences must also be cited. Michael Treacy (1995) has indicated that successful businesses “can no longer raise prices in lockstep with higher costs…” (p.9) Michael Treacy (1995) has indicated that successful businesses “can no longer raise prices in lockstep with higher costs…” (p.9)

When quoting complete sentences, it is best to identify the author in front of the material that is being summarized, ending with the page number after the quote. Carmichael (1998) suggest that cycling is one of the most popular sports in America:”The total number of cyclists who exercise regularly is estimated at more than 50 million.” (p.4) Carmichael (1998) suggest that cycling is one of the most popular sports in America:”The total number of cyclists who exercise regularly is estimated at more than 50 million.” (p.4)

Longer material should be identified by an indented block quotation. In emerging adulthood theory (Arnett, 2000), the period between ages 19 and 25 is one of exploration: In emerging adulthood theory (Arnett, 2000), the period between ages 19 and 25 is one of exploration: Emerging adulthood is distinguished by relative independence from social roles and from formative expectations. Having left the dependency of childhood and adolescence, and having not yet entered adulthood, for emerging adults, this is a time of independent exploration. (p.469)

Even if summarizing material, mark the beginning of the summary to identify where the author’s ideas are being used. The transition between childhood and adulthood is often described merely as adolescence. However, Arnett (2000) proposes a distinct period of time which he names “emerging adulthood”, a time when young adults start to gain independence. (p.469) The transition between childhood and adulthood is often described merely as adolescence. However, Arnett (2000) proposes a distinct period of time which he names “emerging adulthood”, a time when young adults start to gain independence. (p.469)

Improper Paraphrasing Lack of appropriate quotations Lack of appropriate quotations Source: As with a typical superhero, Judge Robertson thought it his duty not only to establish justice but to wreak equity. Smith, 2000, p Paraphrase: Judge Robertson felt duty- bound not only to labor for justice but to wreak equity (Doe, 2000 p. 345).

Improper Paraphrasing Using too many words and phrases from the original Using too many words and phrases from the original Source: In a typical search strategy, Boolean operators can be used to control both the scope of the search and the required proximity of search terms. The operator OR expands the search by allowing the return of documents containing either search term, while the operator AND restricts the search by requiring both terms to be present in the document.

Paraphrase: When searching, you can use Boolean operators to control the scope of the search and how near each other the search terms are. For example, the operator OR expands the search by returning all documents containing either search term, while AND restricts the search by requiring both terms to be present.

For example, the operator OR expands the search by returning all documents containing either search term, while AND restricts the search by requiring both terms to be present.

Appropriate Paraphrasing According to John Smith (2000), using the appropriate forms of Boolean logic can allow the searcher to “control both the scope of the search and the required proximity of search terms.” The word OR produces a hit (a matched document) when either term is present, while AND produces a hit only when both terms are matched in a document.
