Citing Sources Within Your Paper Whenever you quote, paraphrase, summarize, or otherwise refer to the work of another, you are required to cite its source, either by parenthetical documentation or a footnote.

When to cite When do facts you present in your paper need to be documented with a citation? Facts that are considered 'common knowledge‘– those that a reasonably well-educated person could be expected to know – do not need to be documented with a citation in your paper. Facts or statistics that are more obscure or pertain directly to your argument do need to be documented with a citation.

When to cite Everyone knows that the earth orbits the sun, that Roosevelt was president during World War II, and that Hawaii was the 50th state. But does everyone know the number of orcas that are resident in Puget Sound? That Washington State produces 40% of the national Dungeness crab harvest? That juvenile Chinook prey on crab larvae?

Puget Sound is made up of 4 connected basins. The circulation is slowest in Hood Canal. The residence time of water in Hood Canal is ~ 90 days. Chlorophyll is a pigment produced by phytoplankton. Chlorophyll concentrations are typically higher in Hood Canal than the Main Basin. Which statements need citations?

How to use a citation: Chlorophyll concentrations are typically higher in Hood Canal than the Main Basin (Frost and Smith, 1995). Frost and Smith showed that chlorophyll concentrations are typically higher in Hood Canal than the Main Basin (Frost and Smith, 1995). In a study by Frost and Smith they found that chlorophyll concentrations are typically higher in Hood Canal than the Main Basin (Frost and Smith, 1995).

Plagiarism One of the most common forms of cheating is plagiarism, using another's words or ideas without proper citation. The seven most common types of plagiarism are: 1. Borrowing all or part of another student's paper or using someone else's outline to write your own paper. 2. Using a paper writing "service" or having a friend write the paper for you. Regardless of whether you pay a stranger or have a friend do it, it is a breach of academic honesty to hand in work that is not your own or to use parts of another student's paper. 3. Using another writer's words without proper citation. 4. Using another writer's ideas without proper citation. 5. Citing your source but reproducing the exact words of a printed source without quotation marks. 6. Borrowing the structure of another author's phrases or sentences without crediting the author from whom it came. 7. In computer programming classes, borrowing computer code from another student and presenting it as your own. When original computer code is a requirement for a class, it is a violation of the University's policy if students submit work they themselves did not create. From

Acknowledging another author's work will NOT lower your grade! In some unusual cases, your instructor may indicated that you must write your paper without reading additional material. But, as you progress in your studies, you will be expected to show that you are familiar with important work in your field and can use this work to further your own thinking. Your professors write this kind of paper all the time. The key to avoiding plagiarism is that you show clearly where your own thinking ends and someone else's begins. From tml

6. Borrowing the structure of another author's phrases or sentences without crediting the author from whom it came. This kind of plagiarism usually occurs out of laziness: it is easier to replicate another writer's style than to think about what you have read and then put it in your own words. The following example is from A Writer's Reference by Diana Hacker (New York, 1989, p. 171): * Original: If the existence of a signing ape was unsettling for linguists, it was also startling news for animal behaviorists. From tml An ape who knew sign language unsettled linguists and startled animal behaviorists. If the presence of a sign-language-using chimp was disturbing for scientists studying language, it was also surprising to scientists studying animal behavior. When they learned of an ape's ability to use sign language, both linguists and animal behaviorists were taken by surprise
