Study Notes
Plagiarism Definition and Types
- Plagiarism is using another person's work or ideas without giving them credit.
- Five main types of plagiarism exist:
- Verbatim Plagiarism: Copying someone's exact words without credit.
- Patchwork Plagiarism: Taking parts from multiple sources and combining them without credit.
- Paraphrasing Plagiarism: Rephrasing someone's ideas very closely without giving credit. This is the most common.
- Global Plagiarism: Presenting another person's whole work as your own. This is a severe form of plagiarism.
- Self-Plagiarism: Reusing your own previous work without permission or acknowledgment.
Avoiding Plagiarism: Citing Sources
- Avoid plagiarism by citing the source and giving credit.
- In-text citations: Briefly reference the source within your writing.
- Usually includes author's last name and publication year.
- May also include specific page numbers, paragraph numbers, timestamps, or headings, depending on the source and citation style.
In-Text Citation Styles
- Narrative Style: Author's name is included in the sentence; year (and page number) follows the name in parentheses, e.g., "Smith (2024) explains..."
- Parenthetical Style: All citation details (author, year, and potentially page number) are enclosed in parentheses at the end of the sentence, e.g., "...explains in-text citations are vital (Smith, 2024)."
Multiple Authors in Citations
- Two authors: Use an ampersand (&) between author's names, e.g., (Smith & Jones, 2023).
- Three to five authors: List all authors, using an ampersand (&) before the final author's name, e.g., (Smith, Jones, Brown, & Davis, 2023).
- Six or more authors: Use "et al." (and others) after the first author's name, e.g., (Smith et al., 2023).
Citing Authors with Same Last Names
- Use additional identifiers (e.g., initials) to distinguish between authors with matching last names, e.g., (Smith, J. & Smith, J. R., 2023).
Missing Information in Citations
- If an author is unknown but the organization is known, use the organization name, e.g., (American Psychological Association, n.d.).
- If the date is unknown, use "n.d." (no date).
- If page numbers aren't available, use chapter or paragraph numbers instead.
Citation Styles
- Several widely used citation styles exist:
- Chicago Style (Notes and Bibliography): Flexible style used in history and arts.
- Format uses notes and a bibliography; author-date format can be used.
- MLA Style (Modern Language Association): Emphasizes authors and page numbers, used in humanities.
- Author-page number format generally used.
- APA Style (American Psychological Association): Emphasizes publication date, common in social sciences.
- Author-date format generally used.
- Turabian Style: Simplified version of Chicago style, often used for students.
- IEEE Style (Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers): Used mostly in technical fields for engineering, computer science, and other technical publications.
- Chicago Style (Notes and Bibliography): Flexible style used in history and arts.
