What is Plagiarism?

• From MLA 7th ed: “Plagiarism is derived from the Latin Word plagiarius (“kidnapper”), to plagiarize means “to commit literary theft” and to “present as new and original an idea or product derived from an existing source” – Merriam-

Webster’s collegiate Dictionary 11th ed; 2003

• Quotations must be identical to the original, using a narrow segment of the source. They must match the source document word for word and must be attributed to the original author.

• Paraphrasing involves putting a passage from source material into your own words. A paraphrase must also be attributed to the original source. Paraphrased material is usually shorter than the original passage, taking a somewhat broader segment of the source and condensing it slightly.

• Summarizing involves putting the main idea(s) into your own words, including only the main point(s). Once again, it is necessary to attribute summarized ideas to the original source. Summaries are significantly shorter than the original and take a broad overview of the source material

Examples of Common Plagiarism

• Cutting and pasting from an electronic source without citation

• Faking a citation

• Careless paraphrasing

• Buying a research paper

• Not giving credit where it is due!

How to Avoid Plagiarizing

Use a bibliography to list all sources referenced in your paper

“Once detected, plagiarism in a work provokes skepticism and even outrage among readers, whose trust in the author has been broken”(Gibaldi 53).

Include in-text citations to reference your bibliography

When in doubt, ALWAYS cite!
