 PLAGIARISM
Plagiarism is the use of another’s
original words or ideas as though they
were your own.

Any time you borrow something

developed or created by someone else
and do not give that person proper
credit, you have committed plagiarism.
When writing a research in college, you will
be required to find resources about your
topic, include them in your paper, and cite
them properly.

If you do not use and cite sources properly,

then you will have committed plagiarism
and also failed to complete your
assignment.
As you are doing research, write down
what you will need later for a proper
citation.

HABITS.

If you copy something word-for-word in

your notes, enclose this information in
quotation marks and immediately write
down the source.

RESEARCH HABITS.
When paraphrasing, read the material,
then close the book or cover the text,
and then try to write the information in
your own words.

Don’t paraphrase by just rearranging

text or changing a few words.
Don’t “copy and paste” from
the Internet directly into your
document.

It is easy to forget later where

you found the information and
its source.
EACH OF THESE TECHNIQUES REQUIRES
THAT YOU GIVE CREDIT FOR THE
INFORMATION SOURCE USED:

A DIRECT QUOTATION

A direct quote contains the exact words of

the original source, and it must be
enclosed in quotation marks. Quotations
may include words, phrases or sentences.
EACH OF THESE TECHNIQUES REQUIRES
THAT YOU GIVE CREDIT FOR THE
INFORMATION SOURCE USED:

PARAPHRASING
Paraphrasing is based on the source
material, but it is restated in your own
words and style. The paraphrased
material is about the same size as the
original.
EACH OF THESE TECHNIQUES REQUIRES
THAT YOU GIVE CREDIT FOR THE
INFORMATION SOURCE USED:

SUMMARY

A summary includes just the main points of

the source material, and it is also written
in your own words. A summary is usually
shorter in length than the original.
 REASONS OTHER THAN
PLAGIARISM FOR CITING THE
SOURCES YOU HAVE USED IN
YOUR PAPER:

You will provide support for claims or add

credibility. Part of the assignment of a research
paper is to require you to locate and study what
other people have written about the subject.
REASONS OTHER THAN
PLAGIARISM FOR CITING THE
SOURCES YOU HAVE USED IN
YOUR PAPER:

You will show how the work of others leads

up to the work you put into your paper, and
you will show where you obtained your
information.
 REASONS OTHER THAN
PLAGIARISM FOR CITING THE
SOURCES YOU HAVE USED IN
ByYOUR PAPER:
giving examples of several points of view on a subject,
you will show that you have researched the topic and that
you recognize that there are different opinions about it.
Reasons other than plagiarism for citing
the sources you have used in your paper:

You will call attention to a position

that you wish to agree or disagree
with.
 REMEMBER
Collect the information needed to
properly cite a source when you are
performing research. Don’t wait until
you are writing your paper to look
for the information you will need to
prepare a proper citation.
One of the best ways to prepare for a
research paper is by taking thorough
notes from all your sources, so that you
will the information needed to prepare
a proper citation.

Poor note-taking can lead to many

problems including improper
citations and misquotations.
Students are often sloppy about writing
down information about their sources.
When it comes time to write the paper,
they are unable to give proper credit for
their source.
Students need to keep track of the
sources of the material they want to use.

Learning how to handle reference material

is an important part of the assignment.
 YOU CAN GET INTO
TROUBLE FOR
COMMITING PLAGIARISM.
