L I T E R A C Y
• a set of individual competencies needed to
identify, evaluate and use information in the
most ethical, efficient and effective way
across all domains, occupations and
professions.
• It refers to the ability to recognize when
information is needed and to locate, evaluate,
effectively use and communicate information in
its various formats.
• There are times when you need to share
information that you have acquired from various
sources written by different authors.
• It is inevitable to directly quote their words
in order to preserve their meaning.
• However, quoting someone else's words without
giving credit to the author essentially gives
an impression that you are claiming ownership
of the words they have said.
• This is called PLAGIARISM.
 P L A G I A R I S M

• Using other people’s words and ideas without

clearly acknowledging the source of the
information
• C O M M O N K N O W L E D G E : Facts that can be found in
numerous places and are likely to be widely known.
Example: Rodrigo Roa Duterte was the 16th president of
the Philippines and the first president from
Mindanao.

• I N T E R P R E T A T I O N : You must document facts that

are not generally known, or ideas that interpret
facts.
Example: Rodrigo Duterte is the greatest President
ever
• Q U O T A T I O N : Using someone’s words directly.
Example: According to John Smith in The New York Times,
“37% of all children under the age of 10 live below the
poverty line”.

• P A R A P H R A S E : Using someone’s ideas but rephrasing

them in your own words.
Original: Giraffes like Acacia leaves and hay, and they
can consume 75 pounds of food a day.
Paraphrase: A giraffe can eat up to 75 pounds of Acacia
leaves and hay daily.
Strategies in Avoiding Plagiarism
• Submit your own work for publication. You need to cite
even your own work.
• Put quotation marks around everything that comes
directly from the text and cite the source.
• Paraphrase, but be sure that you are not simply
rearranging or replacing a few words and cite the
source.
• Keep a source journal, a notepad, or note cards-
annotated bibliographies can be especially beneficial
• Use the style manual in properly citing sources
• Get help from the writing center or library
