Plagiarism



      Recognizing and
      Avoiding Errors
What is Plagiarism?

• Webster’s Dictionary defines plagiarism as:
  – to steal and pass off (the ideas or words of another)
    as one's own : use (another's production) without
    crediting the source
  – to commit literary theft : present as new and original
    an idea or product derived from an existing source

content/uploads/2011/02/Plagiarism.gif
Examples

• Copying and pasting text from online encyclopedias
• Copying and pasting text from any web site
• Using photographs, video or audio without permission or
  acknowledgement
• Using another student’s or your parents’ work and claiming it as
  your own even with permission
• Using your own work without properly citing it!
• Using someone else’s ideas without citing them



                        From: Mirka, 2004, The Plagiarism Trap.
                              Powerpoint Presentation.
More Examples!!


• Quoting a source without using quotation marks-even if you do
  cite it
• Citing sources you didn’t use
• Getting a research paper, story, poem, or article off the Internet
• Turning in the same paper for more than one class without the
  permission of both teachers (this is called self-plagiarism)

• Can you think of more?


                         From: Mirka, 2004, The Plagiarism Trap.
                               Powerpoint Presentation.
How to Avoid Plagiarism
• Use your own words and ideas
• ALWAYS give credit to others for their work by
  using citations
• When using someone else’s exact words, put
  quotation marks around the text and use a
  citation
• When paraphrasing or summarizing someone
  else’s work, use a citation
• Cite, cite, cite
How to Cite a Source

• Use MLA citations for English classes
  – MLA stands for Modern Language Association
• Use an in-text citation
• Create a Works Cited page
In-text Citations

• After a summary, paraphrase, or quote, include
  an in-text citation
  – (AuthorLastName page#)
• Example
  – “She was going to live so as to go to the good place.”
    (Twain 23)

Works Cited Page

• After ensuring you have proper in-text citations,
  you need to create a Works Cited Page
• Works Cited Page
  – Last page of the paper
  – Full citation required for each and every source cited
    in text
  – NOT a bibliography
     • Only cite sources actually cited in the paper
