7. Sotto: What really happened in plagiarism
issue
• There is speculation that it’s the fault of Sotto’s
ghostwriter. The speculation goes that the ghost
, pressed for time as his deadline approached,
was forced to use the Kennedy quotes—forgetti
ng to use quotation marks—to finish the speec
h on time, and that Sotto himself did not know
that at the time. But Sotto was man enough not
to use the ghostwriter as a scapegoat and
accept responsibility.

19. What’s the deal
with…PLAGIARISM?
T
o plagiarize means “to commit literary
theft.”
“T
o present as new and original an idea or
product derived from an existing source.”
You must give credit to the “owner” of
the information that you use in your p
aper, otherwise you are STEALING!
20. PLAGIARISM
Plagiarism is the presentation
of a little-known fact or an idea
found in another source as if it
were one's own.
A serious breach of academic
integrity!!!
21. WHAT IS PLAGIARISM?
Anytime you use a direct quote, or e
ven change an author’s words, you
are using somebody else’s thoughts.
Simply changing the wording (par
aphrasing) is not enough; you mu
st cite your sources.
When in doubt, CITE! It’s better to be
safe than sorry.
22. CITATIONS
As you know, in order to prevent
plagiarism, we must cite our sources.
There is a specific method of citing s
ources, and certain “ingredients” are
needed, in a specific order, for the cit
ation to be correct and in MLA format
.
23. Proper citation:
• Allows readers to locate the materials you
used.
• Indicates that you have conducted thorough
review of the literature on your topic.
• Reinforce your arguments.
IMPORTANCE OF CITATIONS
25. BEWARE OF CERTAIN
SITES!
You should know by now that WIKIPEDIA
and .com sites are unreliable sources.
Watch…
See what I mean?
Stick to .edu, .org, or .gov sites, which
come from reliable educational institut
ions, organizations, or the gov
ernment.
29. APA Format
APA (American Psychological
Association) style is most commonly
used to cite sources within the social
sciences. This resource, revised
according to the 6thedition, second
printing of the APA manual, offers
examples for the general format of
APA research
papers, in-text citations, endnotes/
footnotes, and the reference page.
30. APA Format Short Quotations:
-If you are directly quoting from a work,
you will need to include the author,
year of publication,
-and the page number for the reference
(preceded by "p.").
-Introduce the quotation with a signal
phrase that includes the author's last
name followed by the date of
publication in parentheses.
31. APA Format Short Quotations:
-According to Jones (1998), "Students often had
difficulty using APA style, especially when it was
their first time" (p. 199).
- Jones (1998) found "students often had
difficulty using APA style" (p. 199); what
implications does this have for teachers?
32. APA Format Short Quotations:
If the author is not named in a signal phrase,
place the author's last name, the year of
publication, and the page number in
parentheses after the quotation.
She stated, "Students often had difficulty using
APA style" (Jones, 1998, p. 199), but she did
not offer an explanation as to why.
