Evaluating Sources
When researching a topic, your job is to collect information from ARTICLES, BOOKS, and/or the WEB. At some point, however, you have to start analyzing what each resource says. You may have already done some evaluating when selecting items, like looking at the date and the scope of the subject matter being covered. Now, you want to go through each resource with a fine tooth-comb to glean the good information from them. When EVALUATING a source, look at:
• the importance of the information as it relates to your topic• whether the information is intended for a similar audience as your research• how current the information is and whether that matters given your topic• how reliable and authoritative the author is

WHAT DO WE DO WITH ALL THE INFORMATION ON OUR TOPIC?
For example:
Ideas about using non-violent resistance to enact change have passed from person to person:
Thoreau Gandhi Martin Luther King, Jr. Your Ideas & Research
In the course of researching and writing a paper, you must read through various resources identifying the key points that support your ideas or argument.
You then combine the points from resources with your own ideas to create a new entity of your own on the topic.
This process of integrating information from resources and writing your own body of work is called synthesizing.

Integrating Information from Sources
It is important to identify material you think will be useful in writing your paper. There are certain practices for properly incorporating information from sources into your research:
1. IDENTIFY USEFUL INFORMATIONTaking clear notes, on paper or in a word processing program, and highlighting photocopies of materials, are two ways to identify information for potential use later on. Don't forget about Post-Its© for flagging the pages you need!
2. GET COMPLETE REFERENCESWrite down complete bibliographic information for each source or photocopy the title page of books to capture this information.
SWITCH Library Consortiumhttp://caspian.switchinc.org/~tutorials/mod6/txt/01-int2.html

cy 2 3. USE QUOTATION MARKS
You must use quotation marks around any statement that is taken word-for-word from another person no matter the source.
4. PARAPHRASEParaphrasing means you restate a passage from a source using your own words. Be sure to reword the passage well so that it's actually different from the original work.
5. SUMMARIZESummarizing means you identify the main ideas or concepts from someone else's work using your own words.

Parts of a citation for a journal or newspaper article: •author(s)•title of the article•title of the journal or newspaper•volume and issue number of journal or newspaper•page numbers•date of journal/newspaper issue
Citation GuidesThere are several different guides, called style manuals, that outline how to format your citations correctly. These styles include the same basic parts of a citation, but they organise them differently. The common ones are APA, MLA and Chicago Style. In RI, we use the American Psychological Association (APA) Formatting Style for social sciences.

You are tasked to make a REFERENCE LIST using the APA Formatting Style for • 3 print resources (to be done in class), and • 3 electronic resources (all of which must be obtained from 3 different sources, which will be done as homework): (i) NLB > JSTOR; (ii) Discovery > SIRS Researcher; (iii) Discovery > Newslink; and/or (iv) Webpage > Google Scholar. Your teacher will demonstrate the use of Landmarks Citation Machine that can help you generate the APA citation.
Copy the information to a Word document. Save it.
Then upload to your Group’s Wiki webpage.

NO NEED TO CITE:•When using something that is “Common Knowledge” – folklore, common sense, or any information generally shared within a field or a cultural group.•When writing your own experiences, observations, insights, thoughts, or conclusions on a subject.•When compiling facts that are generally accepted for a particular audience.•When writing up your own experimental results.

What is Plagiarism?
If you should give credit to an author, THEN DO! When you don't you are committing plagiarism… and it’s a serious crime.
Plagiarism is presenting the words or ideas of someone else without properly acknowledging their source.
Failing to acknowledge the source implies that the words or ideas are your creation.
You need to credit an author when you quote something he/she wrote or said, and when you summarize or paraphrase information from books, articles or the Web.

SummarizingSummarizing is condensing what an author has said into your own words. Your job is to simplify information using fewer details. As a result, the reader will have an understanding of the overall meaning or point of the work. When summarizing you must still credit the author of the original work.
LET'S PRACTICERead the passages below. Decide if it’s acceptable or if it’s plagiarism.
Original PassageIn order to communicate effectively with other people, one must have a reasonably accurate idea of what they do and do not know that is pertinent to the communication. Treating people as though they have knowledge that they do not have can result in miscommunication and perhaps embarrassment. On the other hand, a fundamental rule of conversation, at least according to a Gricean view, is that one generally does not convey to others information that one can assume they already have.

Henry's Version Nickerson (1999) argues that clear communication hinges upon what an audience does and does not know. It is crucial to assume the audience has neither too much nor too little knowledge of the subject, or the communication may be inhibited by either confusion or offense (p. 737).

Original PassageIn order to communicate effectively with other people, one must have a reasonably accurate idea of what they do and do not know that is pertinent to the communication. Treating people as though they have knowledge that they do not have can result in miscommunication and perhaps embarrassment. On the other hand, a fundamental rule of conversation, at least according to a Gricean view, is that one generally does not convey to others information that one can assume they already have.
Nickerson, R.S. (1999, November). How we know- and sometimes misjudge-what others know: imputing one's own knowledge to others. Psychological Bulletin, 125 (6), 737-761.
Henry's Version Nickerson (1999) argues that clear communication hinges upon what an audience does and does not know. It is crucial to assume the audience has neither too much nor too little knowledge of the subject, or the communication may be inhibited by either confusion or offense (p. 737).
Plagiarism? No. This passage is properly summarized. Henry does not rephrase the original work by simply using different wording. Instead, he paraphrases the original statement and condenses the ideas into two sentences.

Short QuotationsIf you are directly quoting from a work, you will need to include the author, year of publication, and the page number for the reference (preceded by "p."). Introduce the quotation with a signal phrase that includes the author's last name followed by the date of publication in parentheses.
Example 1According to Jones (1998), "Students often had difficulty using APA style, especially when it was their first time" (p. 199). Example 2Jones (1998) found "students often had difficulty using APA style" (p. 199); what implications does this have for teachers?
If the author is not named in a signal phrase, place the author's last name, the year of publication, and the page number in parentheses after the quotation.
Example 3She stated, "Students often had difficulty using APA style" (Jones, 1998, p. 199), but she did not offer an explanation as to why.

Long QuotationsPlace direct quotations longer than 40 words in a free-standing block of typewritten lines, and omit quotation marks. Start the quotation on a new line, indented 1/2 inch from the left margin, i.e., in the same place you would begin a new paragraph. Type the entire quotation on the new margin, and indent the first line of any subsequent paragraph within the quotation 1/2 inch from the new margin. Maintain double-spacing throughout. The parenthetical citation should come after the closing punctuation mark.
Example 4Jones's (1998) study found the following:

Students often had difficulty using APA style, especially when it was their first time citing sources. This difficulty could be attributed to the fact that many students failed to purchase a style manual or to ask their teacher for help. (p.199)
