1. Research Citations

2. What is a Works Cited Page? The works cited list should appear at the end of your essay. It provides the information necessary for a reader to locate and be able to read any sources you cite in the essay. Each source you cite in the essay must appear in your works-cited list; likewise, each entry in the works-cited list must be cited in your text.

3. Plagiarism If a work is not cited, it is called plagiarism. Plagiarism is taking someone’s work and passing it off as your own. If you do not cite the information that you get, you will not get credit for the assignment.

4. Examples of Plagiarism Use someone else’s ideas as your own. Use a slightly changed statement as your own, putting your own words here and there and not giving credit. Fail to use quotation marks around exact sentences, phrases, or even words that belong to another person.

5. Examples Exchanging assignments with other students, either handwritten or computer generated, whether you believe they will be copied or not Using summaries/commentaries (Cliffs Notes, Spark Notes, etc.) in lieu of reading the assigned materials. Reuse your own work created previously for another class representing it as a first-time assignment.
