REFERENCING
Information on appropriate referencing (citation) styles can be found under Manage Your References at:
www.is.uwa.edu.au/information-resources/guides

Note that:
Each drawing, picture, photograph, quotation or block of text copied from a source must be acknowledged
individually. This can be done using a referencing style (see above) or by including the full reference in the
text or in a footnote. It is not sufficient to simply list sources in a bibliography at the end without including the
individual references to the sources in the main text.

The same rules apply to materials taken from the web. The authorship and source must be traceable.
The boundaries between your original work and copied work must be clear. Use quotes, indentation and/or
font style to make the distinction clear.

PLAGIARISM

The appropriation or imitation of anothers ideas and manner of expressing them to be passed off as ones
own.
(The Macquarie Dictionary, 1981)

Synonyms:
Piracy, copying, forgery, lifting, expropriation, appropriation

Plagiarism is the unattributed use of someone else's words, creations, ideas and arguments as one's own.
Within university policies it is usually further extended to include the use of 'too close' or extensive
paraphrasing. For example, cutting and pasting text from the Web without attributing it to the author is
plagiarism and therefore dealt with as cheating. Similarly, substituting a few words of copied text without
changing the structure of the piece also constitutes plagiarism. There is a range of penalties for academic
misconduct, depending on the seriousness of the cheating, from loss of credit to expulsion from the
University. (UWA Handbooks 2013)

The University of Western Australia treats plagiarism as serious academic misconduct. The University can
impose severe penalties, including expulsion. Refer to Statue 17 Student Discipline and the associated
Regulations for Student Conduct and Discipline at www.uwa.edu.au/current/information/discipline
