IN-TEXT CITATION
  • Avoiding Plagiarism

2
Academic writing often involves quotation. We
cite what others have said on topics of interest
to us, either to elucidate a point, or to
corroborate a claim that we have made.
3
It is, of course, our ethical responsibility to
give credit where credit is due. It is not fair
to use the original ideas of others without
crediting the source.
4
When we present information derived from a source
other than our own mind, it is our responsibility
to say where that information came from. Unless
the information can reasonably be deemed common
knowledge, scholars must acknowledge their
sources.
5
Common knowledge is information which can be
located in five or more places (i.e., in any
number of encyclopedia, in a reference text, in a
book, on-line, etc.).
6
No matter how quoted material is presented, it
must be acknowledged. Please be aware that
there are three specific methods of quotation

Naturally, the goal of in-text citation is to
avoid plagiarism, which is the unethical use of
anothers words or ideas.
  • Plagiarism amounts to academic theft and is
    deservedly litigable.

Research Papers, the following constitute

Plagiarism is of two types

26
Plagiarism is of two types
  1. Deliberate
  2. Inadvertent

Clearly, the former is worse than the latter.
However, inadvertent plagiarism is a matter of
neglect on the part of the researcher and must be
avoided.
27
In an effort to guard against plagiarism, the
Modern Language Association has devised a simple
but effective method of signal phrases and
parentheses to show where quotations begin and
end.
  • Signal Phrases
  • Parentheses

28
The goal, of course, is that readers should know
when quoted material of any type is present.
29
A signal phrase is more or less an on switch.
  • The parenthesis is the off switch.
  • When a reader sees the signal phrase, she is
    instantly alerted that the material which follows
    is a quotation and does not originate with the
    writer.
  • She also knows, as soon as she reaches the
    parenthesis, that the quotation is over.

Now that you have used a signal phrase to set
your reader up for a quotation, its time to move
on to the quotation itselfAs you will
remember, there are three kinds of quotation
  1. Direct quotation Copying word-for-word.
  2. Paraphrase Expressing the writers intent in
    your own words.
  3. Summary Briefly restating the writers ideas.

48
Direct Quotations
  • Direct quotations cite the text directlyin
    other words, you copy the original text
    word-for-word, with no variation.

Remember, direct quotation is as near to
plagiarism as you can come.
For that reason, direct quotation should be used
SPARINGLY.
Direct quotation may be used to cite (a) poetry,
(b) literary passages of exceptional quality, or
(c) prose where the authors words are so
memorable as to deserve no other form of
expression.
49
Direct Quotations
In general, direct quotations are introduced by a
signal phrase and a comma According to Humphrey
House, For thousands now alive a passionate love
of Shelley was a major experience in their young
development (47).

Frost considered the path that lay before him,
Then took the other, as just as fair / And
having perhaps the better claim / Because it was
grassy and wanted wear (5). In other words, he
chose the path because it wasnt quite so popular
as the other and would give him more leeway as an
individual.

Parenthetic Documentation
If you were paying attention, you would have
noticed the presence, at the end of each
quotation, of a number in parentheses. The
moment you see this parenthetic notation, you
know that the quotation is over. The number, of
course, is the page number on which the quotation
is found. This number is tied to the Works Cited
page at the end of the paper. The signal phrase
usually provides the information which the reader
needs to locate the appropriate Works Cited entry
(either the authors last name, or the title of
the book or article). When a signal phrase is
not used, then more information may need to be
included in the parenthesis.

noticed the presence, at the end of each
quotation, of a number in parentheses. The
moment you see this parenthetic notation, you
know that the quotation is over. The number, of
course, is the page number on which the quotation
is found. This number is tied to the Works Cited
page at the end of the paper. The signal phrase
usually provides the information which the reader
needs to locate the appropriate Works Cited entry
(either the authors last name, or the title of
the book or article). When a signal phrase is
not used, then more information may need to be
included in the parenthesis.
House says of Shelley that his poetry enthralls
boys (girls rather less, I fancy) as no other
poetry enthralls them (47-8).
Apparently, Shelleys poetry enthralls boys . .
. as no other poetry enthralls them (House 47-8).
Apparently, Shelleys poetry enthralls boys . .

Congratulations
You now have the basic pattern established for
proper in-text citation and we will move on to
the proper format for the Works Cited page. But
that is another lesson altogether. The End
