What is plagiarism?

• Cutting and pasting from other documents.• Quoting without quotation marks or references.• Paraphrasing without referencing.• Summarising without referencing.• Using an image, source and/or diagram without

referencing.• Taking another student’s ideas and passing them off as

your own.• Re-cycling your own work which has been submitted for

assessment elsewhere.• Collaborating on what should be individual work.• Translating a document from another language.

Why do we need to cite?

To acknowledge the work of other writers To demonstrate the body of knowledge on which you have

based your work To enable other researchers to trace your sources and lead

them on to further information A standard system of citing ensures an easier system of tracing

knowledge more efficiently If you cite correctly, you don’t need to worry about plagiarism You are upholding and contributing to academic standards and

integrity

Academic writing is about …

• Posing a question, dilemma, debate that has not been posed in quite the same way before …

• Answering that question, with an answer that has not been constructed in quite the same way before …

• Bringing together your ideas with those of others, making connections between things that have not been connected in quite that way before …

• Using the work/ideas of others is a crucial element, but must be appropriately acknowledged.
