Plagiarism
Types of plagiarismPlagiarism takes many forms including: intentional unintentional
and may involve: collusion – getting help from others (family, friends, colleagues, etc) non reference of quotes – not accrediting the source of the quote used poor use of paraphrasing – not using quotes effectively using unacknowledged sources– cutting and pasting content without attribute submitting essay bank materials – purchasing pre-written essays time saving tactics – re-using an old essay, only changing a few words
To find out more, take a look at the following DVD available in the Library: Avoiding plagiarism [DVD] total running time approx 23 mins.
includes section Quoting, paraphrasing and summarizing (6 mins.)
Doing the right thingThere are several ways to avoid plagiarising the work of others.
Quote useful to highlight main points, support arguments made in your work place exact quote word for word in quotation marks and list source eg.
“plagiarism is a notion specific to a particular culture and epoch” (Ashworth, Freewood and Macdonald, 2003)
But - don’t use too many quotes in one piece of work
Paraphrase read quote and rephrase into your own words to give an overview it is not enough to just change one word in the quote Remember to attribute the broad ideas to the original author.
Summarize Instead of using multi quotes, take the main background ideas from each and
present an overview of them all.
