IF YOU CITE, YOURE IN THE RIGHT!

WHAT IS PLAGIARISM?
Plagiarism is using someone elses words and ideas without correctly identifying them. Examples are as follows:

WHAT IS COPYRIGHT ?
Copyright is an area of the law that explains that everything created and manufactured is automatically protected. Anything that can be accessed by reading or hearing is protected by the copyright law if it is within the copyright period or is not public domain. Public domain includes (and need not be cited): 1. Facts, titles, names, short phrases, etc. 2. Works published before 1978. 3. Government documents. 4. An owner granting public domain. Sometimes knowing when to cite can be difficult. Follow these basic guidelines: 1. When you use facts and other information found in a source. 2. When quoting someone word for word. 3. Whenever you reword or summarize ideas written by other people. 4. When recreating someones method of direction in a paper. 5. When mentioning some other persons work.

1. Using papers that another person


has written.

2. Cutting and pasting an excerpt


directly from a resource without appropriately creating a citation.

HOW DO I AVOID P LAGIARISM?

WHAT ARE THE PROBLEMS WITH PLAGIARISM?


1. If you are committing plagiarism, you are stealing someone elses hard work. This is on the same level as stealing someones tangible items. 2. Plagiarism is against the law! Everything produced is protected by copyright. 3. The thoughts and comments provided by a person are considered property of the mind.

Many may believe that it is impossible to avoid plagiarism. This isnt true! To avoid plagiarism all you have to do is: 1. Think about what YOU want to write about in your papers. 2. Only use the ideas of other people to give your ideas support and strength. 3. Write down the citations as you find your sources. 4. Use quotation marks when writing something someone has directly said. 5. Write a rough draft without using any notes to ensure the paper is your idea!
