Research Ethics  ACADEMIC INTEGRITY
Research Ethics Copyright- intended to promote the arts and the sciences. It does this by providing authors of original literary, dramatic, musical, artistic, and certain other intellectual works the ability to control how their work is used by others.
Research Ethics Plagiarism - “...the wrongful appropriation or purloining, and publication as one’s own, the ideas or the expression of the ideas (literary, artistic, musical, mechanical, etc.) of an other.” – see Heterick Help Page  and Student Code of Conduct
Research Ethics In other words, to plagiarize is to copy someone else’s work without giving him/her credit. Plagiarism is not always intentional. You can do it by accident, but it is still against the law. If you ever have a question about whether something is plagiarized, please ask! 1 1. How not to plagiarize your report  --  Shannon Hosier Mersand
Research Ethics 2 How may I avoid plagiarizing? Identify any information that would not be considered common knowledge Unless in direct quotes, make sure you paraphrase what the original author said Use a quote if you can’t think of a way to paraphrase the information always, Always, ALWAYS cite the source of any information in your paper which is not considered common knowledge. If you are unsure if something is common knowledge, cite it!  2 How not to plagiarize your report  --  Shannon Hosier Mersand
RefWorks                 REFWORKS
Research Ethics Things that are found in a number of places, and are likely to be known by a large number of people. Examples: The sky is blue Grass is usually green George Washington was the 1st president of the United States 11 So what is common knowledge 3 3 How not to plagiarize your report  --  Shannon Hosier Mersand
Research Ethics What does paraphrase mean? Main Entry: 1para·phrase  1 : a restatement of a text, passage, or work giving the meaning in another form From Merriam-Webster’s Online Dictionary http://www.m-w.com 12
Research Ethics 4 What does it mean to put something in my own words? When you paraphrase something, it is different than putting it in your own words. When you put something in your own words, you are making a statement about the information you have found, rather than just restating the information. Usually there is an opinion of some sort in something “In your own words” 4 How not to plagiarize your report  --  Shannon Hosier Mersand
Research Ethics What is a quote? Main Entry: 1quote  1 a : to speak or write (a passage) from another usually with credit acknowledgment b : to repeat a passage from, especially in substantiation or illustration From Merriam-Webster’s Online Dictionary http://www.m-w.com
