2 Overview What is plagiarism? How to cite/reference What does plagiarism look like? Turnitin - an introduction Originality reports Where to get help

3 Definition of plagiarism at QMU: “The presentation by an individual of another person’s ideas or work (in any medium, published or unpublished) as though they were his or her own.” Academic Handbook, QMU

4 Plagiarism = Stealing of ideas and labour Many cases in the arts end up in court or lead to loss of reputation One recent case reported in The Guardian: Primatologist Jane Goodall’s book Seeds of Hope had to be revised after she was found to have lifted some 12 passages from websites including Wikipedia. Comments on this in The Guardian included: In one single act, Jane Goodall has set academic integrity back several decades. She should be ashamed! I'm afraid Ms Goodall has destroyed trust in herself, and in her colleagues. She should be more than ashamed. (Taylor 2014)

5 The Academic Context The student who cuts and pastes from a website has used someone else’s work to gain an unfair advantage over their fellow students. You won’t end up in court but: “Serious cases of cheating and plagiarism will be referred for consideration through the University’s disciplinary procedure. Undertaking fraudulent practices can result in a student being required to leave the University.” (QMU Assessment Regulations 21.6)

6 Good practice involves : using books and articles as a source of information and citing all materials. (If you need to copy someone else’s words, put them into quotation marks and provide a reference*) explaining the main points, comparing and contrasting the views of different authors adding your own comments and opinions. * This will ensure that you are not perceived as copying anyone’s work and will gain you better marks

7 How to cite in text – an overview Citation is an acknowledgement of the work or the ideas of someone else. The way used at QMU to cite is to put the name of the author, and the date of publication, in the text of your work (Smith 2010). At the end of your work, you generate a list of these references: SMITH, N The Great European Crisis. 2nd ed. London: Penguin.

8 Paraphrasing – a quick overview paraphrasing is putting someone else’s work and ideas into your own words sometimes students only change one or two words and this is considered as plagiarism, even if there is a reference to the original work one of the best ways is to read a paragraph and then close the book and write the paragraph in your own words. (Don’t forget to cite the original work!)
