Title: Quote

Quote Unquote Avoiding Plagiarism in a Digital
Age
  • UCI Libraries Workshop
  • Spring Quarter, 2003

What is Plagiarism?
  • Plagiarism is intellectual theft. It means use
    of the intellectual creations of another without
    proper attribution. Plagiarism may take two main
    forms, which are clearly related
  • 1. To steal or pass off as one's own the ideas or
    words, images, or other creative works of
    another.
  • 2. To use a creative production without crediting
    the source, even if only minimal information is
    available to identify it for citation.
  • Credit must be given for every direct quotation,
    for paraphrasing or summarizing a work (in whole,
    or in part, in one's own words), and for
    information which is not common knowledge.

3
Why Cite?
  • Essential to establishing the validity of your
    argument(s)
  • Demonstrates your knowledge of a topic/subject
  • Adding your words, interpretation, ideas to the
    existing body of knowledge about a topic
  • Informs and educates your readers on your
    research process.

4
Citing Defined
  • The formal acknowledgement of your source.
  • Must be done when either quoting or paraphrasing
    an author.
  • Possible styles to follow footnote, endnote,
    APA, MLA, Chicago Manual of Style
  • More Information online at
  • http//tutorial.lib.uci.edu/mod8/mod8d.html

5
Quotations
  • When using the same language the source used.
  • Must be a faithful transcription, using brackets
    and ellipses if necessary.
  • Must be cited, whether within the text or in a
    note.

6
Paraphrasing
  • Summarizing the ideas from the source, but using
    your own words and sentence structure.
  • Must be cited, whether within the text or in a
    note.
  • One exception common knowledge.

7
Common citation confusions
  • Do I have to cite an anonymous author?
  • Government publications are in the public domain.
    Cant I use them freely?
  • I got all my information off the Web--I dont
    have to worry about citation.
  • How do I cite Scholar 2s analysis of Scholar 1s
    work?

8
Citing Websites
  • Format of citation depends on style (MLA, APA,
    Chicago)
  • Usually includes URL of website, date accessed,
    publisher/creator of website
  • Formats change often - check style guides
  • Does not include journals from full-text article
    databases

9
Citing Full-Text Articles from Online Databases
  • Similar intention to citing articles from print
    journals
  • Extra step of identifying the online source of
    the article
  • Including full URL of specific article usually
    not required, in fact sometimes difficult.
  • Refer to style guides for exact format.

Citing Scholar 2 who is citing Scholar 1
  • Some considerations
  • Is Scholar 1 in a different academic discipline?
  • Do you know enough about Scholar 1?
  • Is Scholar 2 saying something original about
    Scholar 1?
  • Are both scholars a part of the research trail
    that you need to document?
  • To find out more about Scholar 1, do an author
    search in ANTPAC or an article database to find
    out what Scholar 1 wrote, or who else has cited
    Scholar 1 in their work.

11
Preventing Plagiarism during the Research Process
  • Document your research
  • Record your search strategies and list the
    databases you used in your research
  • Print out or email citations so you can verify
    sources
  • Note publication information so citations are
    correct
  • Use EndNote software to record research and help
    you cite correctly according to style (APA, MLA,
    etc)

12
Preventing Plagiarism during the Writing Process
  • Make an outline that shows your arguments and the
    quotes/paraphrases you plan to use to support
    your points
  • Use quotes/paraphrases as supporting evidence to
    your own ideas analysis over reporting.
  • Ask your professor, instructor or TA for advice
    if you are unsure about the use of others work
    in your paper.
