How Do We Use Sources Responsibly
- For scholars, nearly every paper is a research paper.
- Copying from others denies you the opportunity to learn.
- Plagiarism - Copying someone else's words or ideas without attribution.
- Unauthorized Collaboration - Always ask your instructor, in advance, about what kinds of collaboration he allows.
- Recycled Writing - You can't learn something new if you don't do the work.
Tips for avoiding plagiarism
- Get to know your honor code so you'll know how your school handles academic integrity,
- As you read, pay careful attention to how writers use their sources.
- Maintain careful notes as you read and conduct research.
- Don't be tempted to write your paper and then go back to fill in the citations.
- Don't procrastinate.
We create linkages by telling readers
Why a quote is there, What it means, and How it's related to, or supports, our argument
How Do We Know When We Need to Cite Something?
- Always cite quotations and paraphrases
- Cite summaries
- Cite statistics
A bibliographic citation includes everything that a reader would need to know to find the exact source that you used.
- Author name(s)
- Title(s)
- Publication information (when, where, and who published the source)
