Alexander has been researching for his History summative for three weeks. He has been taking research notes and using a variety of sources. When he begins creating his works cited for the assignment, he realizes one of his quotes is missing the source name, so he uses the source information of one of the books he still has at home from the library so that he can still use the direct quote.

Plagiarism: How Can you Avoid It?

HOW YOU USE THE SOURCE

HOW YOU WRITE IT HOW YOU CITE IT

Quoting

● Copying word for word● Quotation marks around the short quote

followed by an in-text citation● Long quotations are indented five spaces,

with no quotation marks, followed by an in-text citation

● Short Quotations:

○ In-text citation with page

number

(Author last name, year, p. #).○ Closing punctuation is placed

after the in-text citation● Long Quotations:

○ In-text citation with page

number

(Author last name, year, p. #).○ Closing punctuation is placed

before the parenthetical citation

● Include in References

Paraphrasing

● Including specific information (percentage, statistics, results, etc.) from the source

● Ideas from source written in your own voice● Taking a broader segment of the source and

condensing it slightly (into your own

words)

● If a specific segment: In-text

citation with page number

(Author last name, year, p. #)● If paraphrasing without a

specific segment: no page number

● References

Explanation of in-text citation

In-Text Citations: StructuresHerr Bock, a former training professor at the Ministry of State Security, explains that, above all, an informer “needed to be honest, faithful, and trustworthy” (Funder, 2010, p.200).

Louis Herman and his colleagues used hand and arm signals to communicate with the dolphins: “For instance, a pumping motion of the closed fists meant ‘hoop,’ and both arms extended overhead (as in jumping jacks) meant ‘ball’” (Morell, 2009, p. 54).

In-Text Citations: Structures

P - A clear point to support your overall idea

E - an example or detail (often a quote) to support your point

I - The importance OR connection between your point and evidence.

In-text citations usually occur in one of two places in the sentence:

1. Smith (1999) has also found that E.coli is one of the only

microbes to . . . .

2. E.coli is one of the only microbes to . . . (Smith, 1999).
