Parts of a Citation

  1. Quotation marks around text that is an exact quote.
  2. In-text citation or footnote gives author's name and page. This points to Sources Cited or Bibliography page.
  3. Add either a Works Cited (MLA) or References (APA) at end of paper.

Examples of Plagiarism

 

Plagiarism: Quoting but not Citing

 

 

 

 

Plagiarism: Paraphrasing but not Citing

 

 

 

Plagiarism: Not including the Source in Works Cited/References

 

 

 

Plagiarism: Copying and Pasting

 

 

 

 

Plagiarism: Changing a few words but keeping the main ideas and sentence structure.

Paraphrasing differs in that you put the bulk of the text in your own words.

 

 

Paraphrasing

  • Summary of research

  • In student’s own words

  • Sentence structure is different than original

  • It is not changing a few words to synonyms
