Citing Sources
Why Cite? • If sources are not properly cited, plagiarism will occur.
What is Plagiarism? • Plagiarism: – To steal and pass off (ideas or words of another) as one’s own – To use (another’s production) without crediting the source – To commit literary theft – To present as new and original an idea or product derived from an existing source
What is Considered Plagiarism? – Plagiarism can occur deliberately or accidentally. § Some examples of deliberate plagiarism: – hand in an assignment written by someone else – copy part of another student's paper or use the ideas of that student and pass it off as your own – pay someone to write your paper – hand in downloaded texts, or copy and paste directly from the Internet – deliberately use another writer's ideas, creations, images etc without identifying where they came from.
Accidental Plagiarism • Accidental plagiarism is the unwitting, unknowing form of cheating and can include: – you forget to identify where you found the information – you do not pay attention to where your material(s) came from when paraphrasing (put other writers' ideas into your own words) – you use the exact words of another person without quotation marks even though you've said where the information came from – you don't record where the information came from when you take notes.
Consequences of Plagiarism • The consequences of plagiarism vary, but are usually severe. • Plagiarism will result in suspension. • Plagiarism will result in expulsion. • Plagiarism will result in a “ 0” for you and others. • Plagiarism will result in criminal / civil charges
What Doesn’t Need to be Cited • Common knowledge does not need to be cited. • What is common knowledge? – Christy Clark is the Premier of British Columbia is common knowledge. – Christy Clark is an idiot, is opinion and therefore, not common knowledge.
• Also information which is not necessarily common knowledge but can be looked up easily may not need to be cited. • For example: Canada is multilingual.
What Needs Citation? • You make a claim that could be challenged. • Example: Hot water freezes faster than cold water • You quote somebody “I want to die peacefully in my sleep, like my grandfather. . Not screaming and yelling like the passengers in his car”
How to Not Plagarize! From: “lifehack. org/advice-for-students-how-not-to-plagarize” • Don’t copy entries from Wikipedia. Or any online source, really, but Wikipedia seems to be an especially easy target for students — and it’s incredibly easy to detect. • Don’t cobble together the free excerpts from several different “free essay” sites. Seriously. Use your melon.
• Don’t paste formatted text into your papers. • If you’re going to ignore the advice, at least don’t just cut-an-paste with no regard formatting! Nothing says “this paper was plagiarized” more clearly than a Frankenstein’s monster patchwork of fonts and text sizes scattered across your page because you didn’t take the time to reformat everything you pasted into your document into a uniform typeface, size, and color.
• IF YOU DON’T KNOW IF IT SHOULD BE CITED…. CITE IT. • Better safe than sorry.
Help with not plagiarizing • Acknowledge ALL Non-Original Words and Ideas – What's proper acknowledgement? Usually it means including quotations to indicate language you're using verbatim and keeping thorough footnotes or endnotes to document the sources of ideas that are not your own
• Make It New – The aim of all academic research is to use existing ideas as a springboard for your own
Difference between Plagiarism and Paraphrasing • Paraphrasing does not mean changing a word or two in someone else's sentence, changing the sentence structure while maintaining the original words, or changing a few words to synonyms. If you are tempted to rearrange a sentence in any of these ways, you are writing too close to the original. That's plagiarism, not paraphrasing - University or North Carolina
Paraphrase vs. Plagiarism "The burly Khrushchev, seeking new propaganda laurels, was eager to meet with Eisenhower and pave the way for a 'summit conference' with Western leaders. " • Changing a word or two (plagiarism) The stocky Khrushchev, looking for new propaganda recognition opportunities, was eager to meet with President Eisenhower and to pave the way for a joint conference with leaders from the West.
"The burly Khrushchev, seeking new propaganda laurels, was eager to meet with Eisenhower and pave the way for a 'summit conference' with Western leaders. ” • Rearranging sentence structure (plagiarism) Seeking new propaganda laurels, Khrushchev was eager to meet with Eisenhower. He wanted to pave the way for a summit conference with leaders from the West.
"The burly Khrushchev, seeking new propaganda laurels, was eager to meet with Eisenhower and pave the way for a 'summit conference' with Western leaders. ” • Quoting fewer than all of the words (plagiarism) "Khrushchev was eager to meet with Eisenhower and pave the way for a 'summit conference' with Western leaders. "
