Be Very Careful Not to Plagiarize

• Webster’s II New College Dictionary (1995) defines “plagiarize” this way: “to steal and use (the ideas or writing of another) as one’s own.” Using another person’s words or ideas without acknowledging your debt to them is a form of cheating.

Examples of plagiarism include:

• handing in as your own work a paper you did not write

• using the exact wording of another writer without enclosing the material in quotation marks and properly citing the source

• using another writer’s ideas or observations without properly citing the source, even if you if did not copy the source word-for-word

When Do You Cite?

• In general, you do NOT need to provide citations for:

• ideas or facts which are common knowledge • proverbs or well-known quotes • your own ideas or your personal opinions • results of a study or experiment you

conducted

You DO need to cite the source for:

• ideas or observations which are unique or unusual and are not your own

• results of studies or experiments you did not conduct yourself

• word-for-word quotations (must be enclosed in quotation marks)

• paraphrased or summarized passages—even if they are not exact quotations

A safe rule: When in doubt, cite.• Dutton, Denis. “Plagiarism and Forgery.”

Encyclopedia of Applied Ethics. Ed. Ruth Chadwick. 4 vols. San Diego: Academic Press, 1998. Print.
