Citing Sources and Avoiding Plagiarism
The OED Online defines plagiarism as the wrongful appropriation
or
purloining, and publication as one's own, of the ideas, or the
expression of
the ideas (literary, artistic, musical, mechanical, etc.) of
another, but
what does plagiarism mean in the context of Duke University? As
stated in
the Duke University Bulletin of Information & Regulations 2005-
2006:
Plagiarism occurs when a student, with intent to deceive or with
reckless
disregard for proper scholarly procedures, presents any
information, ideas
or phrasing of another as if they were his/her own and/or does
not give
appropriate credit to the original source. Proper scholarly
procedures
require that all quoted material be identified by quotation marks
or
indentation on the page, and the source of information and ideas,
if from
another, must be identified and be attributed to that source.
Students are
responsible for learning proper scholarly procedures (16).
Copying, quoting, paraphrasing, or summarizing from any source
without
adequate documentation
Purchasing a pre-written paper (either by mail or electronically)
Letting someone else write a paper for you
Paying someone else to write a paper for you
Submitting as your own someone else's unpublished work, either
with or
without permission
See the links in the menu on the right to learn more about
avoiding
plagiarism.
