Plagiarism From Purdue Online Writing Lab (OWL) - http://owl.english.purdue.edu/owl/resource/589/1/http://owl.english.purdue.edu/owl/resource/589/1/ Plagiarism, which is the uncredited use (both intentional and unintentional) of somebody else's words or ideas. Many beginning writers aren't aware of or don't know how to follow the many of these rules of research and proper citation. Gaining a familiarity of these rules is critically important. A charge of plagiarism can have severe consequences, including expulsion from a university or loss of a job, not to mention a writer's loss of credibility and professional standing.

Slide 23

Is It Plagiarism Yet? From Purdue OWL - http://owl.english.purdue.edu/owl/resource/589/02/http://owl.english.purdue.edu/owl/resource/589/02/ There are some actions that can almost unquestionably be labeled plagiarism. Some of these include: buying, stealing, or borrowing a paper (including, of course, copying an entire paper or article from the Web) hiring someone to write your paper for you copying large sections of text from a source without quotation marks or proper citation. using the words of a source too closely when paraphrasing (where quotation marks should have been used) building on someone's ideas without citing their spoken or written work

Slide 24

When Do We Give Credit? The key to avoiding plagiarism is to make sure you give credit where it is due. This may be credit for something somebody said, wrote, emailed, drew, or implied. Here, then, is a brief list of what needs to be credited or documented: Words or ideas presented in a magazine, book, newspaper, song, TV program, movie, Web page, computer program, letter, advertisement, or any other medium Information you gain through interviewing or conversing with another person, face to face, over the phone, or in writing When you copy the exact words or a unique phrase When you reprint any diagrams, illustrations, charts, pictures, or other visual materials When you reuse or repost any electronically-available media, including images, audio, video, or other media

Slide 25

When Do We Give Credit? (cont.) Bottom line, document any words, ideas, or other productions that originate somewhere outside of you. There are, of course, certain things that do not need documentation or credit, including: Writing your own lived experiences, your own observations and insights, your own thoughts, and your own conclusions about a subject When you are writing up your own results obtained through lab or field experiments When you use your own artwork, digital photographs, video, audio, etc. When you are using "common knowledge," things like folklore, common sense observations, myths, urban legends, and historical events (but not historical documents) When you are using generally-accepted facts, e.g., pollution is bad for the environment, including facts that are accepted within particular discourse communities, e.g., in the field of composition studies, "writing is a process" is a generally-accepted fact.

Slide 26

Deciding if Something is "Common Knowledge" Something is considered common knowledge if you find the same information undocumented in a number of credible sources. Information the reader will already know or could easily find in general reference sources. When in doubt, cite!

Slide 27

Best Practices for Research and Drafting From Purdue OWL - http://owl.english.purdue.edu/owl/resource/589/03/http://owl.english.purdue.edu/owl/resource/589/03/ Reading and Note-Taking In your notes, always mark someone else's words with a big Q, for quote, or use big quotation marks Indicate in your notes which ideas are taken from sources with a big S, and which are your own insights (ME) When information comes from sources, record relevant documentation in your notes (book and article titles; URLs on the Web)
