Plagiarism: what is it?
University Definition:
“Plagiarism is passing off the ideas or words of someone else as though
they were your own. It applies equally to the work of other students as to
published sources.”
City University London (2015) Understanding Academic
Misconduct: Key Terms. Available at:

(Accessed: 14 September 2015).
“Submitting, as one's own, an assignment that another person has completed.
Downloading information, text, artwork, graphics or other material from the
internet and presenting it as one's own without acknowledgment.
Quoting or paraphrasing material from a source without acknowledgment.”
Using other people’s ideas without acknowledgement.

Academic Misconduct
• Not tolerated: University Regulations say that all
identified cases of suspected misconduct will be
actively pursued.
• Penalties range from issuing a warning to student
exclusion from University.
• Not just directly copying other peoples’ work: other
forms of plagiarism…

Plagiarism includes:
• Copy and pasting from the internet or others’ work
• Concealing sources
• Collusion
• Self-plagiarism: using your own work again
• Misunderstanding “Common Knowledge”
5. www.city.ac.uk/library
Copy and pasting
• Don’t! You will get caught.
• Your work is passed through special software that WILL
catch you, regardless of where you copied from.
• You can quote from others’ work, though: always use
quotation marks and acknowledge where you found it:
It has been said that “Management is an interesting area to
study” (Smith, 2010, p. 25).
• Use the information to DO something, don’t rely heavily on
quotes.
6. www.city.ac.uk/library
Concealing sources
• Pretending you had an idea yourself, when you really found it in
your research and reading.
• Often unintentional, but still counts as Academic Misconduct.
• Be very careful when you take notes so you always know
which was your idea and which was the author’s.
• Always cite and acknowledge ideas from other people
• If you use if more than once in an essay, cite each time: even if
it’s the next paragraph.
7. www.city.ac.uk/library
Collusion
• Taking credit from other students’ work
• Working out the answers to homework questions together
• Watch out for group work! Always acknowledge other students’
ideas and contributions. Work individually on your assignments.
• It is NOT chatting with other students, then going away and doing
the work on your own.
9. www.city.ac.uk/library
Common Knowledge
• If a fact is common knowledge, you do not need to cite.
• If it is not “common knowledge”, always cite.
• Not sure? Ask your tutor for advice, or find a source; it is better to
cite.
10. www.city.ac.uk/library
How do I avoid accusations of plagiarism?
• Take clear notes
• Quote: if you use someone else’s words, put them in quotation
marks (“…”) and acknowledge them properly
• Paraphrase: give your own understanding of the idea and
acknowledge them properly.
• Cite and reference correctly: This is how your acknowledge
other people properly!
11. www.city.ac.uk/library
Further tips…
• Consult with your tutors and supervisors if you’re in doubt
• Start your work early so you have time to cite and reference
properly
• Make sure your conclusions are always your ownthoughts, based
on the work of the research you’ve done
• Read through your work carefully: is it clear where you’ve used
other people’s work? Are your own ideas obvious?

Why put citations and references in your
work?
• We cite all ideas, quotes, data, opinions, etc. that are not our own
by telling the reader where it came from.

always trace ideas back.
• Good referencing makes your work more scholarly:
• Shows your wide range of reading and sources
• Shows good awareness of academic norms & standards
• Helps back up your arguments with work of other scholars
• Can show how hard you worked!
14. www.city.ac.uk/library
How do I find the information I need to make a
reference?
• Front pages of books and
CityLibrary Search
• First page, header and footer,
or last page of journal articles
• Copy and paste pre-made
references from most
databases:
• Yes, you can copy and
paste, just this once!
• Check it carefully: the
computer is not as clever
as you.
15. www.city.ac.uk/library
How do I cite and reference?
• Keep not of what information you used from which source.
• Cass uses: Harvard (or Author/Date)
• Use Cite Them Right as a basis
16. www.city.ac.uk/library
Citing and referencing - Harvard
• To cite within the text, put the author’s surname and year of
publication in brackets after a sentence:
One study has shown that huffing and puffing will blow straw houses
down (Grimm, 1971).
• Make a Reference List of these citations at the end of your work.
This list should be in alphabetical order by author.

Further points
• Secondary referencing is where other works are cited within a
work.
• Where possible, if you want to cite something cited in another
source, try to find the original.
• If not…
Smith (1997, cited in Brown, 2000) found that…
• Please see the Cite Them Right Page on Setting out Citations for
more information.
22. www.city.ac.uk/library
Further points (continued)
• In edited works, cite the chapter author, not the editor of the whole
work
• Corporate authors – use the full name in the first citation and an
abbreviation thereafter:
First time: (Institute of Chartered Accountants in England and Wales
(ICAEW), 2015)
Other times: (ICAEW, 2015)
23. www.city.ac.uk/library
Remember…
• Cass uses the Harvard Style
• This means use the author-date format for citations (Tuttle, 2015).
Three Vital Things to Remember:
1. Be Clear: your aim is to help your reader find the same thing you
read.
2. Be Consistent: pick one style and use it all the way through your
project – Cite Them Right Online will help you with this.
3. Credit all the ideas you’ve used in your work, not just direct
quotes: demonstrates the hard work you’ve done and protects
you from accidental plagiarism.
