  2. Plagiarism What Is And What Is Not Plagiarism Image: http://info.library.unsw.edu.au/psl/skills/direct/itet_lilt/module3/images/plagiarism.GIF

  3. Plagiarism is using someone else’s work without giving them credit. Image: http://www.christina.k12.de.us/pulaski/library/Biblio8.gif

  4. How Do You Know When to Give Credit? Background Image: http://www.inkcartridgeemporium.com/question_marks.jpg Question Mark: http://www.reachouttrust.org/images/question.gif

  5. In your writing, you must give credit whenever you use information that you found in a source (unless it is considered common knowledge*). Image: www.history.ucsb.edu/faculty/marcuse/classes/images/plagiarism600pxw.jpg

  6. Common knowledge is information that is widely known or widely available. There are 12 inches in a foot. Chicago is in Illinois. Etc. What Is— “Common Knowledge”? For Example-- Image: http://school.discoveryeducation.com/clipart/images/question.gif

  7. Always give your source for: • Quotations (Exact Words) Needs “ ” • Paraphrased Information • Summarized Information • Facts That Are Not Common Knowledge • Ideas, including opinions & thoughts about facts • Maps, Charts, Graphs, Data, & Other Visual or Statistical Information

  8. Sometimes Plagiarism Is Blatant And Obvious Image: http://www.pelhamweb.org/phslibrary/main/images/mousethief.gif

  9. Like— • Copying a lab report from another student • Buying a research paper over the Internet • Copying and pasting into your document Image: http://www.pelhamweb.org/phslibrary/main/images/mousethief.gif

  10. Image: http://images.paraorkut.com/img/pics/glitters/o/oops_sorry-2716.gif But Plagiarism Can Also Be Accidental

  11. Use these tips to avoid “Accidental Plagiarism”: • Take brief concise notes • Note the source of your information • When taking notes put “ ”around words you copy so you don’t forget they’re not yours • When notes include an idea—note whether its yours or the source’s • Check your final text to make sure that you did not accidently use wording from source

  12. Unacceptable paraphrasing and misuse of credits are the most common causes of accidental plagiarism. The following are examples of these problems—and some solutions. http://www.lrdc.pitt.edu/schunn/sword/plagiarism.jpg

  13. A pro-market reformer, Vladimir Putin has vowed to revitalize the foundering economy, fight corruption, subvert Communism, and build a strong Russia. —Beth Rowen, Vladimir Putin: President and Prime Minister of Russia A pro-market reformer, Vladimir Putin vows to revitalize the ______ economy, fight corruption, subvert Communism, and build a strong nation. The writer has dropped and changed a few words, but otherwise just copied the source. Source Problem: Uncredited Quotation Remember! When words are taken from a source, they must be 1) copied exactly; 2) enclosed in quotation marks; and 3) followed by a credit.

  14. A pro-market reformer, Vladimir Putin has vowed to revitalize the foundering economy, fight corruption, subvert Communism, and build a strong Russia. —Beth Rowen, Vladimir Putin: President and Prime Minister of Russia A democratic reformer who is pro-market, Vladimir Putin has promised to reenergize the failing economy, battle corruption, destroy Communism, and develop a powerful Russia. The writer has changed a few words, but the sentence structure and much of the wording are the same as in the source. The writing is too similar to count as original. Source Problem: Unacceptable Paraphrasing Remember! An acceptable paraphrase changes both the sentence structure and the wording. So, what if the writer added a source credit to the end?

  15. A pro-market reformer, Vladimir Putin has vowed to revitalize the foundering economy, fight corruption, subvert Communism, and build a strong Russia. —Beth Rowen, Vladimir Putin: President and Prime Minister of Russia A pro-market reformer, Vladimir Putin has promised to reenergize the failing economy, battle corruption, destroy Communism, and develop a powerful Russia. (Rowen.) The writer does give a source credit. However, the paraphrasing is unacceptable, and it does not become acceptable just because a source credit is added. The purpose of a source credit is to tell where the information came from. Unless the writer is using a quotation, the information must always be restated in an original way. Source Problem: Misused Source Credit Remember! The writer must either copy the source exactly and use quotation marks, or paraphrase the source acceptably. Both options require source credits.

  16. A pro-market reformer, Vladimir Putin has vowed to revitalize the foundering economy, fight corruption, subvert Communism, and build a strong Russia. —Beth Rowen, Vladimir Putin: President and Prime Minister of Russia Vladimir Putin has promised various reforms. (Rowen.) Jumpstarting Russia’s economy, fighting government dishonesty, and strengthening the nation are among his goals. The writer has placed the source credit in the wrong place-at the beginning, rather than the end, of a passage. Source Problem: Misplaced Source Credit Remember! Credit your source immediately after you have used it.

  17. A pro-market reformer, Vladimir Putin has vowed to revitalize the foundering economy, fight corruption, subvert Communism, and build a strong Russia. —Beth Rowen, Vladimir Putin: President and Prime Minister of Russia A pro-market “democratic reformer”, Vladimir Putin has vowed to “revitalize the floundering economy,” fight corruption, and build a strong Russia. (Rowen.) The writer has used quotation marks around some of the words, which is the correct way to treat words that are copied exactly. However, the writer has copied other words without using quotation marks. Source Problem: Mix of Credited and Uncredited Quotations Remember! All exact words from a source need to be enclosed in quotation marks. Using quotation marks in your research notes will help you remember where words came from.

  18. A pro-market reformer, Vladimir Putin has vowed to revitalize the foundering economy, fight corruption, subvert Communism, and build a strong Russia. —Beth Rowen, Vladimir Putin: President and Prime Minister of Russia Putin has promised various reforms, including better government integrity. He is seen as wanting to advance both democracy and economic growth. (Rowen.) Source Solution: Successful Paraphrasing This is successful because: • The writer successfully paraphrases the source, changing both the sentence structure and the wording. • The writer used a source credit after the information.

  19. A pro-market reformer, Vladimir Putin has vowed to revitalize the foundering economy, fight corruption, subvert Communism, and build a strong Russia. —Beth Rowen, Vladimir Putin: President and Prime Minister of Russia Rowen calls Putin “a pro-market democratic reformer”, noting his promises to advance integrity and economic growth. (Rowen.) Source Solution: Successful Paraphrasing with a Credited Quotation This is successful because: • The writer successfully paraphrases the source, changing both the sentence structure and the wording. • The words that where copied exactly from the source have been enclosed by quotation marks. • The writer used a source credit after the information.
