WHAT IS PLAGIARISM?▸ According to plagiarism.org, following to be plagiarism:

 “ • To submit someone else's work as your own,

• To copy words or ideas from someone else without giving credit, and

• Failure to put a quote or excerpt in quotation marks.”

WHAT IS PLAGIARISM?— If you use the words, ideas, or phrasing of another person or from published material, you must:

• • Use quotation marks around the words and cite the source, or

• • Paraphrase or summarize acceptably and cite the source.

— If you use charts, graphs, data sets, or numerical information obtained from another person or from published material, you must also cite the source.

— You must always acknowledge your sources by citing them.

— Plagiarism is sometimes unintentional.

— Several options exist for incorporating the words and ideas of others into your own work:

• Quote directly: put quotation marks around the words and identify the source.

• Paraphrase: put the information into your own words and identify the source.

• Summarize: take the key ideas and paraphrase them and identify the source.

Example 1:

Student Writer A:

Long ago, when there was no written history, these islands were the home of millions of happy birds; the resort of a hundred times more millions of fishes, sea lions, and other creatures. Here lived innumerable creatures predestined from the creation of the world to lay up a store of wealth for the British farmer, and a store of quite another sort for an immaculate Republican government.

Source:

"In ages which have no record these islands were the home of millions of happy birds, the resort of a hundred times more millions of fishes, of sea lions, and other creatures whose names are not so common; the marine residence, in fact, of innumerable creatures predestined from the creation of the world to lay up a store of wealth for the British farmer, and a store of quite another sort for an immaculate Republican government."

Writer A has included a word-for-word passage from his/her source without any indication that it is a direct quotation.

The form you use to do this depends on the Citation Style you are using:

• • APA – American Psychological Association Style is often used by history, economics, psychology and political science.  

• • MLA –Modern Language Association Style is often used in the arts and humanities.

• • CMS - Chicago Manual of Style is often used in architecture and urban planning.

• • CSE – Council of Science Editors is often used in biology and other sciences.

DO AND DON’T

Do:

• Trust the value of your own intellect.

• Undertake research honestly and credit others for their work.

Don’t:

• Don’t purchase papers or have someone write a paper for you.

• Don’t copy ideas, data or exact wording without citing your source.

What isn’t Plagiarism in regard to U.S. academic standards?In syllabus, “Plagiarism, defined as using the exact language or a close paraphrase of

someone else’s ideas without citation.”

In Online Writing Lab, it said that “There are some actions that can almost unquestionably

be labeled plagiarism. Some of these include buying, stealing, or borrowing a

paper (including copying an entire paper or article from the Web); hiring someone to

write your paper for you; and copying large sections of text from a source without

quotation marks or proper citation.“

According to Academic Integrity Tutorials from Northern Illinois University, they said that

“Plagiarism is a type of cheating that involves the use of another person's ideas, words,

design, art, music, etc., as one's own in whole or in part without acknowledging the

author or obtaining his or her permission.“https://www.niu.edu/academic-integrity/faculty/committing/plagiarism.shtml

According to an article on Wikipedia.org, musical minimalism has evolved since the 1970s to incorporate repetition, long notes, and a consistent beat into what people now commonly call electronic music. Since the late 1990s, it has revolutionized even electronic music by bringing about "ghettotech" in the music culture known as "Chicago House." Philip Glass, Steve Reich, and John Coolidge Adams are musical minimalism's minimalism's most well-known composers.

Scholars in the school of new classical economics, which emerged in the 1970s, focus on the belief that the school of Keynesian economics is misguided. New classical scholars assert that the economy is never unbalanced, as Keynesian scholars believe, but instead that changes in an economy result from people's changing their spending habits as they interpret the news about the world.

Electromagnetism is defined as the "force that the electromagnetic field exerts on electrically charged particles," and it is "one of the four fundamental forces." Electromagnetism and the other three fundamental forces (strong and weak nuclear forces and gravitational force) are the foundations for every other fundamental force, but electromagnetism itself dictates almost every phenomenon we witness daily.
