what is plagiarism and how do we avoid it?
- 00:07 - 00:10
The first thing that we can do with plagiarism is
- 00:10 - 00:13
to cite our sources site site, site.
- 00:14 - 00:17
There are so many students who accidentally play dries and
- 00:17 - 00:20
don't even know because they forget to site their sources
- 00:20 - 00:22
if an idea is not your own.
- 00:22 - 00:23
If you didn't come up with it in your own
- 00:23 - 00:27
head, you may be paraphrasing if you've read an article
- 00:27 - 00:29
on your writing something along the same lines.
- 00:29 - 00:32
But this is still plagiarism you need to cite.
- 00:33 - 00:36
If you're ever unsure, just check out the Purdue Owl
- 00:36 - 00:38
website because it's very, very helpful.
- 00:41 - 00:45
The second thing, Let's remember the idea of self plagiarism.
- 00:46 - 00:47
Have you ever heard of it?
- 00:47 - 00:49
If I know I hadn't before he started taking classes.
- 00:50 - 00:50
That's right.
- 00:51 - 00:52
You can actually play drives off of yourself.
- 00:53 - 00:55
So let's say you had a paper in one class
- 00:56 - 00:58
and there's another paper in a different class that's along
- 00:58 - 00:58
the same lines.
- 00:59 - 01:01
You can't just turn that paper and you need to
- 01:01 - 01:02
be very careful.
- 01:02 - 01:04
Self plagiarism is when you use work from a different
- 01:05 - 01:06
class in your current class.
- 01:06 - 01:09
If you want to reuse your work you have to
- 01:09 - 01:12
ask the permission of a professor from that previous class
- 01:13 - 01:14
before you use your own work again.
- 01:15 - 01:17
I know it sounds a little crazy, but it's a
- 01:17 - 01:18
real thing.
- 01:20 - 01:22
The next idea is to be quick.
- 01:23 - 01:24
What do I mean by be quick?
- 01:25 - 01:28
Well, when you're reading your articles for your papers that
- 01:28 - 01:30
you might want to use as a resource, just put
- 01:31 - 01:33
it into your resort reference list right away.
- 01:34 - 01:35
Even if you don't use it, you can go ahead
- 01:35 - 01:36
and leave it later.
- 01:36 - 01:38
But this way it will save you time at the
- 01:38 - 01:40
end of your paper, and you don't have to go
- 01:40 - 01:42
back and try to find the articles that you used
- 01:42 - 01:44
to be able to say Thumb there already in your
- 01:44 - 01:45
reference list.
- 01:46 - 01:48
It will help you remember to cite, and it's always
- 01:48 - 01:50
just having nice practice under your belt.
- 01:53 - 01:56
Number four Peer reviewed is key.
- 01:56 - 02:00
Make sure you are Onley using peer reviewed articles in
- 02:00 - 02:00
your writing.
- 02:01 - 02:04
Peer reviewed are the top of the line articles.
- 02:05 - 02:07
They're the highest quality of article that you can use
- 02:08 - 02:10
if you happen to use an article that isn't peer
- 02:10 - 02:14
reviewed and they plagiarized and then you use their work,
- 02:14 - 02:16
you're also play drives and not only off of them
- 02:17 - 02:19
but off of the people who were plagiarized from them.
- 02:20 - 02:22
So make sure you're using peer reviewed articles.
- 02:22 - 02:26
You can use your colleges database you can use Google
- 02:27 - 02:31
Scholar. Just make sure that their peer reviewed and the
- 02:31 - 02:36
last thing is paraphrasing a very, very slippery slope.
- 02:36 - 02:40
So when you're paraphrasing, it's really, really important that you
- 02:40 - 02:40
know what you're doing.
- 02:41 - 02:44
Make sure you know all of the information about that
- 02:44 - 02:47
article, and you're not just rewriting the work, using some
- 02:47 - 02:50
other words like synonyms, um, and then calling it your
- 02:50 - 02:53
own. If you're gonna paraphrase, you have to be able
- 02:54 - 02:57
to state the information from the article and then site
- 02:58 - 03:00
it after you don't want to forget to cite just
- 03:00 - 03:01
because you're paraphrasing.
- 03:01 - 03:04
If it's somebody else's idea, even if you're putting it
- 03:04 - 03:08
in your own words, it is a paraphrase, and you
- 03:08 - 03:13
have to say that otherwise you're plagiarizing and that is
- 03:14 - 03:17
plagiarism. What we've learned about it, what I've learned about
- 03:17 - 03:19
it and how to use those as tips in five
- 03:20 - 03:20
different ways.
