  performed
• falsification, e.g. misrepresentation of the
  results of experimentation
• plagiarism, i.e. taking the writings or ideas of

Plagiarism

• Plagiarism is when the student copies data,
  information or results from an unacknowledged
  source, without quotation marks or any indication
  that the presenter is not the original author or
  researcher
• Work (text, diagrams, photos and graphs)
  produced by someone else may be summarised or
  repeated providing it is referenced to the
  original author
• Full reference for both quotes and paraphrases or
  summaries of published material must be given
• All references should then be included in a
  bibliography at the end of the piece of work
  including URLs of web-based material (and date of
  visit)

An example

  96 of Arnold, J., Cooper, C.L. and Robertson, I.
  (1995) Work Psychology, London Pitman
• There are a range of problems faced by minorities
  in the workplace.  First, the selection and
  recruitment process is biased against them in one
  form or another.  Second, they have very few role
  models in the work environment, who could mentor
  them and socialize them towards organizational
  life.  Third, they do not get the feedback they
  need in terms of performance appraisal to guide
  them through the turbulent waters of their
  careers.

Example C

• There are a range of problems faced by minorities
  in the workplace.  First, the selection and
  recruitment process is biased against them in one
  form or another.  Second, they have very few role
  models in the work environment, who could mentor
  them and socialize them towards organizational
  life.  Third, they do not get the feedback they
  need in terms of performance appraisal to guide
  them through the turbulent waters of their
  careers.
• There are a range of difficulties faced by
  minorities at work.  First, the selection and
  recruitment process is biased against them in
  some way.  Second, they have few role models in
  the organisational context, who could mentor and
  socialise them regarding organisational life. 
  Third, they don't get the feedback they need on
  their performance to guide them through the
  choppy waters of their careers.
• Do you think this is plagiarism? Yes / No
• Yes. The text has been altered slightly and not
  cited or in quotes.

Example D

• There are a range of problems faced by minorities
  in the workplace.  First, the selection and
  recruitment process is biased against them in one
  form or another.  Second, they have very few role
  models in the work environment, who could mentor
  them and socialize them towards organizational
  life.  Third, they do not get the feedback they
  need in terms of performance appraisal to guide
  them through the turbulent waters of their
  careers.
• Arnold et al. suggest that " There are a range of
  problems faced by minorities in the workplace. 
  First, the selection and recruitment process in
  biased against them in one form or another. 
  Second, they have very few role models in the
  work environment, who could mentor them and
  socialise them towards organisational life. 
  Third, they do not get the feedback they need in
  terms of performance appraisal to guide them
  through the turbulent waters of their careers."
• Do you think this is plagiarism? Yes / No
• Yes. The text has been altered more (words and
  order) but it is still a paraphrase of the
  original and, although it says Arnold et al. this
  is still not properly cited

12
Example E

• There are a range of problems faced by minorities
  in the workplace.  First, the selection and
  recruitment process is biased against them in one
  form or another.  Second, they have very few role
  models in the work environment, who could mentor

  models in the work environment, who could mentor

• Do you think this is plagiarism? Yes / No
• No. The text is in quotes and the reference is
  clear.

Example F

• There are a range of problems faced by minorities
  in the workplace.  First, the selection and
  recruitment process is biased against them in one
  form or another.  Second, they have very few role
  models in the work environment, who could mentor
  them and socialize them towards organizational
  life.  Third, they do not get the feedback they
  need in terms of performance appraisal to guide
  them through the turbulent waters of their
  careers.
• Minorities of whatever sort are presented with a
  number of difficulties in the organisational
  context.  For example, performance appraisal
  often does not meet their needs in terms of
  providing guidance on career development.  The
  ways in which organisational personnel are
  selected and recruited are often characterised by
  racism, sexism, homophobia etc.  Finally, the
  lack of people of colour, women and other members
  of minorities in senior positions often mean that
  those lower down the organisation cannot get the
  mentoring and socialisation they need at work.
• Do you think this is plagiarism? Yes / No
• Yes. Although the changes are substantial, all
  the 3 key ideas come from the original and this
  is not cited.

• Do you think this is plagiarism? Yes / No
• No. There is a clear citation to the source and
  the text has been rewritten so quotes are not
  needed.

15
Consequences

• Punishments range from a note in your file to
  zero marks to no credits which will be a FAIL
• It is your responsibility not to make mistakes
  since mistakes can incur the same penalties
• If in doubt,reference and/or consult

16
Conclusion

• If you have got the ideas from sources, and this
  is normal and usual, either
• Quote ( and ) and cite OR
• Paraphrase and cite
• If the ideas are really your own (such as a
  synthesis from extensive reading) or in the
  public domain no citations are needed.
• If in doubt, cite
