1. What is
Plagiarism?

Plagiarism is presenting someone else's work or ideas as your own, with or

without their consent, by incorporating it into your work without full
acknowledgement.

Plagiarism may be intentional or reckless, or unintentional.

2. Forms and
examples of
plagiarism

Global plagiarism
Verbatim plagiarism
Paraphrasing plagiarism
Patchwork plagiarism
Self-plagiarism
Verbatim quotation without clear acknowledgement
https://www.plagiarism.com
Quotations must always be identified as such by the

use of either quotation marks or indentation, and
with full referencing of the sources cited. It must
always be apparent to the reader which parts are
your own independent work and where you have
drawn on someone else’s ideas and language
Cutting and pasting from the Internet without clear
acknowledgement
Information derived from the Internet must be adequately

referenced and included in the bibliography. It is
important to evaluate carefully all material found on the
Internet, as it is less likely to have been through the same
process of scholarly peer review as published sources
Paraphrasing
Paraphrasing the work of others by altering a few

words and changing their order, or by closely
following the structure of their argument, is
plagiarism if you do not give due acknowledgement
to the author whose work you are using
Collusion
This can involve unauthorised collaboration between

students, failure to attribute assistance received, or failure
to follow precisely regulations on group work projects. It is
your responsibility to ensure that you are entirely clear
about the extent of collaboration permitted, and which
parts of the work must be your own
Inaccurate Citation
It is important to cite correctly, according to the conventions of your

discipline. As well as listing your sources (i.e. in a bibliography), you
must indicate, using a footnote or an in-text reference, where a quoted
passage comes from. Additionally, you should not include anything in
your references or bibliography that you have not actually consulted. If
you cannot gain access to a primary source you must make it clear in
your citation that your knowledge of the work has been derived from a
secondary text (for example, Bradshaw, D. Title of Book, discussed in
Wilson, E., Title of Book (London, 2004), p. 189).

Failure to acknowledge assistance
You must clearly acknowledge all assistance which has

contributed to the production of your work, such as advice
from fellow students, laboratory technicians, and other
external sources. This need not apply to the assistance
provided by your tutor or supervisor, or to ordinary
proofreading, but it is necessary to acknowledge other
guidance which leads to substantive changes of content or
approach.
Use of material written by professional
agencies or other persons
You should neither make use of professional agencies in the

production of your work nor submit material which has been
written for you even with the consent of the person who has
written it. It is vital to your intellectual training and development
that you should undertake the research process unaided. Under
Statute XI on University Discipline, all members of the University
are prohibited from providing material that could be submitted
in an examination by students at this University or elsewhere.
Auto-plagiarism
You must not submit work for assessment that you have
already submitted (partially or in full), either for your current
course or for another qualification of this, or any other,
university, unless this is specifically provided for in the special
regulations for your course. Where earlier work by you is
citable, ie. it has already been published, you must reference it
clearly. Identical pieces of work submitted concurrently will
also be considered to be auto-plagiarism.
3. What is
referencing?
Referencing can be described as giving credit, with citation,
to the source of information used in one's work. Research is a
buildup on what other people have previously done thus
referencing helps to relate your own work to previous work.
Importance of referencing
Referencing allows you to acknowledge the

contribution of other writers and researchers in your
work. Any university assignments that draw on the
ideas, words or research of other writers must contain
citations. Referencing is also a way to give credit to the
writers from whom you have borrowed words and
ideas.
4. Referencing
styles and
examples.
There are four widely-used referencing styles or conventions.
APA (American Psychological Association)
APA referencing is a variant on Harvard style. Many of the

conventions are the same, with brief author-date citations in
brackets in the body of the text and full citations in the
reference list. It is usual to include a reference list only rather
than a bibliography in APA style. Citations for websites are also
slightly different, with no need to include an access or retrieval
date unless the page content is likely to change over time.
APA In-text citation: (Author's surname,year) or Author's surname
(year)

Reference: Author's surname,initial(s). Date published.Title of

source.Location of publisher:publisher.Retrieved from URL.
Chicago
Chicago style referencing offers two options for citations:

Notes and bibliography: a numbered style, where a number

in the text corresponds to a footnote or endnote containing
the full reference, (as in Oxford referencing.) A bibliography
lists all referenced sources, plus anything you read but didn't
reference.
Chicago
Author-date references: brief author-date citations are

inserted in parentheses in the body of the text, (as in Harvard
referencing.) A corresponding reference list which only
includes sources you have cited in your text.
Chicago In-text citation- author-date: Author year,page

Referencing: Author's suname, name. Year. Title. edition. Location

of publisher: publisher
Harvard
Also known as 'author-date' style. In Harvard style the in-text citation

can be in brackets in the body of the text or in footnotes, and uses the
author's surname and the date of publication, with the page number if it
is a reference to a particular page. Full details are only listed in the
bibliography or reference list.
Note that because Harvard is a 'style' rather than a system or set of rules,
the preferred punctuation and formatting of the text may differ and
your School/Department might have their own preferred version
Harvard In-text citation: Author's surname(year, page number) or
(Author's surname, year, page number)

Referencing: Author's surname, Initial(s). (Year published). Title

(italicized) Edition. Place of publication:publisher.
Oxford
In Oxford referencing, in-text citations are in

footnotes. Full details should be included in the
footnotes for the first mention of a text. After this,
a shortened version can be used.
Oxford In-text citation: Author's initial followed by surname,
book title, edition, publisher, place, year, page

Referencing: Author's surname, initial(s), title,

edition,pulisher,place,year .
DON'T FORGET TO GIVE CREDIT
WHERE ITS DUE!
Always remember to avoid plagiarism by
citing your sources in the correct manner,
depending on the prescribed method.
