Plagiarism

 Citation
Plagiarism is worse in the
 electronic world because of….

Information overload
Ease of cutting and pasting chunks from
the internet
Unreliable quantity of information on
internet
Difficulty in summarising and synthesising
large quantities of information
Plagiarism is….

Using the words or ideas of others and
     presenting them as your own.

It can range from deliberate cheating to
accidentally copying from a source without
            acknowledgement.
Common forms of plagiarism
 Downloading an essay from an online
 source and submitting it as your own work

Some cheat sites are……
A-1 Term Papers, Cheater.com, Free Essay
  Network, The Evil House of Cheat,
  Researchpaper.com, School Sucks, Term-
  Papers.us and The Paper Store
Common forms (con’t)
Buying, stealing or borrowing an
assignment and submitting it as own work
Copying parts of books or articles and
submitting as own work’
Copying, cutting and pasting text from
electronic sources and submitting as own
work
Using the words of someone else and
presenting them as own work
How can we prevent plagiarism?

The following are good sites to understand what is
   plagiarism

   Avoiding plagiarism
   http://www.lc.unsw.edu.au/onlib/plag.html
   (this one has a quiz)

   Plagiarism: what it is and how to recognize and avoid it
   http://www.indiana.edu/~wts/pamphlets/plagiarism.shtml
To avoid plagiarism you need to…..



 Make notes in point form
 Cite paraphrases and quotes correctly
 Create bibliographies according to
 accepted formats. More of this later….
Plagiarism may be suspected by your
          teacher if there is….
Turnitin says so
Unique phrases are located using large search
engines like Google
Use of advanced vocabulary, sentence structure
or jargon
Unusual formatting or it does not match what is
required
Signs of website printout page numbers or dates,
unusual use of upper/lower case and
capitalization
Bibliography: ? incorrect citation style used
The essay is found by browsing websites
providing readymade papers
So remember to…..
     Make notes in point form

     Put in quotations everything that comes directly from the text

     Paraphrase, but do not just replace or rearrange a few words (remember
     to cite)

     You do not need to document common knowledge. These are facts that
     are found in many places and known by many people eg. Melbourne is
     the capital of Victoria. A rule of thumb is that if you do not need to look
     something up, it is common knowledge.

     Do your bibliography and make sure that it is linked to citations within
     your essay

TIP: do not leave doing your bibliography until the last minute – record
     as you go, especially if you are using internet sites
Citation styles

Author/date v’s footnote

What is the difference?
Author date
Formerly known as Harvard
In its place use Chicago
Others are: APA and MLA

2 step process
An example looks like this…..
   In body of essay:
• ….“Students need to take note of the
   examiner’s report”(Cox and Wilson 2012)
 * can include page nos. if you want to be specific
   Bibliography at end of essay:
   Cox, C. and J. Wilson. 2012. Surviving the IB
   Melbourne: Penguin.
   Alphabetical listing of references by primary
   author’s surname regardless of type: book,
   website etc.
Notational or documentary note
             styles

• Examples include: Footnote (which covers
  Oxford and Cambridge)
• Vancouver
• 3 step process
• Very popular when writing literature and
  history essays
An example looks like this……
In body of essay:
•“…. Students need to take note of the examiner’s report”. ¹
At the bottom of the same page:
•1. Cate Cox and Jan Wilson. Surviving the VCE.(Melbourne:
Penguin, 2012), 23.
Bibliography at the end of essay:
•Cox, Cate and Jan Wilson. Surviving the VCE. Melbourne:
Penguin, 2012.
•Alphabetical listing of references by primary author’s
surname regardless of type: book, website etc.
Best websites
    Murdoch University has a very comprehensive
    website to do with referencing
•   http://library.murdoch.edu.au/Getting-
    help/Referencing/
•   Monash University is also very good
•   http://lib.monash.edu/tutorials/citing/
•   Select the style you want and follow the
    examples
•   Referencing handouts in the CRC
Other sources
R 808.027 STY: Style manual for authors,
editors and printers – Australian
government publication

Bibme http://www.bibme.org/ : free online
citation maker * only does the reference
list at the end of the essay
….a word about Word 2010
Word 2010 has the capacity to create a
bibliography list for you under the
References tab.

BUT : this works for author date styles but
not so well for ‘footnote styles”.
A tip to make your life easier
Record bibliographic details as you go. As soon
as you use some information from a source,
record all the details then.
It is MUCH MUCH easier to write your
bibliography if you do this.
You can always delete references to the material
you did not end up using.
We cannot help you much if you leave doing this
stuff to the last minute 
