1 Fair Use and Citing Sources Writing Consultant Presentation EG 1003: Intro to Engineering and Design NYU’s Polytechnic School of Engineering

2 Fair Use and Citing Sources  What is fair use?  Citation style that respects fair use  Resources for more information

3  Profit from their words or images  Permit others to reproduce their work  Create “derivative works” (summaries, movies, translations, etc.)  Perform or display in public Creators get automatic rights

4  Without quoting (making a derivative) … research and public conversation cease  Criticism, review, commentary, parody, news reports are important to free society  Some copyright infringements are worthwhile Rationale for “fair use”

5  Court defense against infringement  No strict definition exists: “There is no specific number of words, lines, or notes that may safely be taken without permission. Acknowledging the source of the copyrighted material does not substitute for obtaining permission” 1  Not itself a right What is “fair use”? 1 U.S. Copyright Office, “Fair Use,” retrieved 20 January 2011 from copyright.gov.

6 1.In the context of commentary, scholarly report, review, or parody 2.Only a small portion of entire text or picture 3.Cannot harm the market for the work 4.Must indicate source Conditions for fair use defense

7 Fair Use and Citing Sources  What is fair use?  Citation style that respects fair use  Resources for more information

8 Indicate when you use an idea outside your own experience with quote marks or citation Take only brief passages and cite the source so reader can verify original Use only a portion of pictures in context of commentary or review Exploit free clipart or create your own Issues related to EG 1003

9  Basis of many systems, including IEEE and APA  Simple to implement: Author’s last name and year in text Full bibliographic information at end  Use for all outside sources: EG 1003 Lab Manual Web pages News reports Dictionaries Textbooks Author-date citation system

10 Using a lead-in phrase Original Text A large number of production facilities in many industries use processes in which heat is transferred between different fluids. The basic principle of heat transfer is extremely simple[;] two fluids at different temperatures are placed in contact with a conductive barrier (the tube wall) and heat is transferred from the hotter fluid to the colder fluid until they reach the same temperature level. In industrial processes this is carried out in heat exchangers of various types and styles usually purpose built for the process and site conditions of the application. HRS Heat Exchangers, “Heat Transfer Fundamentals,” hrs-heatexchangers.com, 2011. Quote According to HRS Heat Exchangers(2011), a “large number” of industrial processes use heat transfer. Heat exchangers are “purpose built for the process and site conditions of the application.” Paraphrase According to HRS Heat Exchangers (2011), many industries use simple heat transfer processes where a barrier between fluids conducts heat until equilibrium is reached.

Works cited section for end of report Alphabetic by last name Year of publication (date when possible) Web articles: access date but not full URL Portion of longer work; has corporate author Books include city and publisher

14 ①In-text citation:  Whenever outside ideas come into a report  Use both with quotes and your own words ②Works Cited section:  List of all sources  Separate section at end of report  Enough information to check the original Cite sources twice in reports

15  Audience cannot turn to end of report  Best practice is to have handout with sources  Without handout, include both in-text citations and works cited info on the slide  According to Nick Anderson, almost two-thirds of U.S. students cannot explain heat transfer 1 Slides are a different animal 1 Anderson, Nick. 26 January 2011. “U.S. Students Falling Short in Science.” Washington Post.
