Research Ethics

• Plagiarism - “...the wrongful appropriation or purloining, and publication as one’s own, the ideas or the expression of the ideas (literary, artistic, musical, mechanical, etc.) of an other.” – see Heterick Help Page, Also Student Code of Conduct

• Copyright - intended to promote the arts and the sciences. It does this by providing authors of original literary, dramatic, musical, artistic, and certain other intellectual works the ability to control how their work is used by others.

11

Research Ethics• In other words, to plagiarize is to

copy someone else’s work without giving him/her credit.

• Plagiarism is not always intentional. You can do it by accident, but it is still against the law. If you ever have a question about whether something is plagiarized, please ask!

Research Ethics

• Identify any information that would not be considered common knowledge

• Unless in direct quotes, make sure you paraphrase what the original author said

• Use a quote if you can’t think of a way to paraphrase the information

• always, Always, ALWAYS cite the source of any information in your paper which is not considered common knowledge. If you are unsure if something is common knowledge, cite it!

Research Ethics

Things that are found in a number of places, and are likely to be known by a large number of people.

Examples:– The sky is blue– Grass is usually green– George Washington was the 1st president of the United

States

So what is common knowledge

Research Ethics

Main Entry: 1para·phrase 1 : a restatement of a text, passage, or work giving the meaning in another form

From Merriam-Webster’s Online Dictionary http://www.m-w.com

What does paraphrase mean?

15

Research Ethics

When you paraphrase something, it is different than putting it in your own words. When you put something in your own words, you are making a statement about the information you have found, rather than just restating the information. Usually there is an opinion of some sort in something “in your own words”

What does it mean to put something in my own words?

Research Ethics

• A citation is how you indicate where your information came from.

• There are four citation styles that are in frequent use at the college level. They are:

• MLA (Modern Language Association)• APA (American Psychological Association)• CMS (Chicago Manual of Style)• Turabian (Kate Turabian's A Manual for Writers of Term Papers,

Theses, and Dissertations, 6th ed., 1996 )• Each style has a way to do in-text citations, a way to do a

bibliography, and a way to do footnotes and endnotes. • Always confirm with each instructor the style required.• You need to learn how to do citations, etc., but there is a citation

software management tool available to all ONU students, faculty and staff…

Research Strategy

• Primary

• Secondary• Secondary Sources analyze or

interpret an historical event or artistic work. Secondary sources often base their theories and arguments on the direct evidence found in primary sources. A secondary work for a subject is one that discusses the subject but is written after the time contemporary with it.

• In the humanities, a primary source could be defined as something that was created either during the time period being studied or afterward by individuals reflecting on their involvement in

the events of that time.

• Think of it as the roof on a house.

What is it?

Current search methods

Reference resources

Databases Others…•Newspapers•eBooks•Websites•Government publications

Catalog

• Natural language searching

• Encourage better or more sophisticated searching

• Search across all local content

• Quicker results

Why did we get it?

What it isn’t

• A replacement for the current catalog

• A ready made index to all databases content

• The cure for getting people to use the catalog or the way to get people to use the rest of your library website

• Googlization of library resources, although it may seem like this to some

Caveats

• Does not bring up results from all resources we have

available

• Learning curve

• Truly not the best for all research questions

What is included?

• POLAR• Article-level searching for all EBSCO

databases• Article-level searching for a variety of

other databases: JSTOR, Hoover’s, AccessPharmacy, etc.

• Title-level searching for most other databases: IEEE, CIAO, Proquest Nursing & Allied Health

Facets: Limit Your Results

Things to Remember

• Facets are your Friend: After you search, limit your results to what you really want
