PLAGIARISM

you wouldn't steal someone's tv,

so why would you steal ideas?

WHAT?

  • turning in someone else's work as your own

  • copying words or ideas from someone else without giving credit

  • failing to put a quotation in "quotation marks"

  • giving incorrect information about your source

  • changing words but copying the sentence

  • structure of a source without giving credit

  • copying so many words or ideas from a source that it makes up the majority of your work, whether you give credit or not

WHEN?

anytime you've opened a book or website, watched something on tv or learned in any other fashion...

...if you don't cite it, it's plagiarism.

support your argument

lead your reader to resources

show off your research efforts

so you're not

breaking the law

WHY CITE?

WHY NOT?

Someone else wrote it better

I was too disorganized

My teacher will not give me credit

I'm too lazy

I don't know how

AVOID IT!

Turn paper writing on its head!

Create your bibliography

BEFORE

you start writing!

STEPS FOR RESEARCH:

1. Find resources

2. Make a bibliography

3. Take two column notes as you go

4. Organize your notes

5. Write your paper with citations

Use two column notes!

According to www.plagiarism.net (2011), writing about information that is common knowledge is not plagiarism. This means that things that you already know, like how to use a fork or the importance of education, do not need citations.

Bibliographies can be made online (Collins, 2008), which would make writing a bibliography easier and faster.

Learning how to cite your sources is incredibly important because "plagiarism is a serious offense" (UBC, 2011).
