Plagiarism

A look at what it is and how to avoid it

What is Plagiarism?

—from the CISP Parent-Student Handbook

By dictionary definition, plagiarism is the

"unauthorized use or close imitation of the

language and thoughts of another author and

the representation of them as one's own original

work."

CISP’s Stance on

Plagiarism

from the CISP Parent-Student

Handbook

“Students may not use the

words or ideas of another

person, unless they give

credit to that person

(through citating).

Quotations taken from

another person must be

cited appropriately. Failure

to do so constitutes

plagiarism.”

“Cheating or plagiarism on

any assignments, tests or

exams will result in a zero

on that work. Parents and

teachers will be notified

when incidents of cheating

or plagiarism occur. A

second incident may lead to

suspension from school.”

Summaries

are much shorter than the original text and point out

main ideas.

You must use a statement that credits the source

somewhere in the summary! Information taken from The Writing Lab & The OWL at Purdue and Purdue University.

Paraphrases

Are more detailed than summaries and focus on

one idea.

You must use a statement that credits the source

somewhere in the paraphrase! Information taken from The Writing Lab & The OWL at Purdue and Purdue University.

How to effectively paraphrase

  1. Reread the original passage until you understand it
  2. Set the original text aside (away) and write down what you understand in your own words.
  3. Check your version with the original: a. Is your version accurate? b. Are the words different? Is your information in a new form?
  4. If you used similar terms, make sure you set those words or phrases off in quote marks “ “
  5. Credit the author or source in your work with the page number (Dickens 6)

EXAMPLES

ORIGINAL

Students frequently overuse direct quotation in taking notes, and as a result they overuse quotations in the final research paper. Probably only about 10% of your final manuscript should appear as directly quoted matter. Therefore, you should strive to limit the amount of exact transcribing of source materials while taking notes.

A PLAGIARIZED VERSION

Students often use too many direct quotations when they take notes, resulting in too many of them in the final research paper. In fact, probably only about 10% of the final copy should consist of directly quoted material. So it is important to limit the amount of source material copied while taking notes.

James D. Lester, Writing Research Papers. 2nd ed. (1976): 46-47.

In research papers students often quote excessively, failing to keep quoted material down to a desirable level. Since the problem usually originates during note taking, it is essential to minimize the material recorded verbatim (Lester 46-47).
