What is plagiarism?

Plagiarism
5
“Plagiarism is presenting someone else’s work or ideas as your own, with or without their consent, by incorporating it into your work without full acknowledgement.”
(University of Oxford, 2015)
Plagiarism
6
• Using someone’s work without clear acknowledgement
• Paying someone to write your essay
• Collusion
• Poor paraphrasing and summarising
• Self Plagiarism
Paraphrasing thoughts
7
Your work flows better if you learn to put different authors’ ideas in your own words
You can use some key words and phrases but the key is understanding meaning and significance
Be careful not to change the odd word here or there. Direct quote if you can not paraphrase
Always use a reference
Summarising thoughts
8
A brief statement of the main points of an article, web page, chapter or book, known as a summary
Only lists the main topics or headings
Most of the detailed information is left out
Always use a reference
How to avoid plagiarism?

• Take effective notes
• Don’t leave it to the last minute
• Keep a note of the sources used

order to acknowledge their ownership and respect the original work. (McMillan and Weyers, 2013, p.16)

Tip
Use round brackets if the year is not needed to identify the correct volume, for example (2003) 167 JP 621. If in doubt which to use, hide the date with your finger and ask yourself whether you could still find the report in the library. If you can, then use round brackets; if not, use square brackets.
