AVOIDING PLAGIARISM

(Amerol, Norhan and Pendatun, Jaminah)

Plagiarism- is a serious form of academic dishonesty and is frowned upon in the academe. Plagiarism is
defined as the verbatim copying of language of other writers as well as taking credit for ideas espoused by
others.

Types of Plagiarism:
a. Plagiarism of Ideas- occurs when credit for a work is taken by an author not made by him or her.

Example: If one writes a paper about the theory of relativity in Physics and no mention of Einstein is given
and the writer explicitly or implicitly claims that the theory is his or hers, plagiarism of ideas has been
committed.

Ways to avoid Plagiarism of Ideas:


 Citations- an official order to appear before a court of law, a formal public statement that praises a
person for doing something good or brave. Proper citation should be done to properly acknowledge
the work of authors.

Citations can be done in different ways:


• Author- oriented citation- In doing an author-oriented citation, you start by writing the surname of the
author, followed by the year of publication of the work enclosed in parentheses and verb of statement
(such as states, argues, posits, emphasizes) at the start of paragraph or sentence.

Example: Pulido (2012) believes that language is an online environment can be understood if other modes
online communication is further analyzed to provide a full account of interaction in virtual worlds.

• Text oriented citation- In doing a text-oriented citation, you write your paragraph and sentence taken
from a source and end with the surname of the author of the work and year of publication separated by a
comma. The citation must be enclosed in parentheses and followed by a period.

Example: Unless educators realize the importance of reading and writing across subject areas, problems in
comprehension of subject matter will be a prominent issue in the teaching learning process. (Estacio,
2010).

• Other ways of Citation:


• You may start the sentence or paragraph by using the phrase According to...
and then write the
surname of the author followed by the year of publication enclosed in
parentheses.

Example: According to Mendoza (1990), by the end of the century, our fuel reserves will be reduced to half,
and scarcity of energy supplies will be a big problem

b. Plagiarism of Language- happens when an author uses the language of another writer and claims it as
his or her own.

Types of Plagiarism of Language:


1. A writer may commit word- for-word plagiarism when the author simply cites the author but copies the
whole text verbatim.
2. A writer may commit patchwork plagiarism, where ideas from the source are mixed with interpretations
of the writer, creating patches of text, which make ownership of ideas very unclear.
Ways to avoid Plagiarism of Language:
 Direct quotations- are employed for statements that are so closely associated with the author that
altering the words may lose its rhetorical impart. For instance, the statement of Ninoy Aquino, “The
Filipino is worth dying for”. is too short to be summarized, and the rhetorical impact of the work may
be lessened if the statement is paraphrased.
 Summarizing- is a restatement of the main idea of a text. Ideally, it is a third of the original text you
have used for your paper. In developing your summary, the following tips may be helpful.

Tips for developing a Summary


3. Make sure to read the text thoroughly and highlight the important details in the text.
4. After getting the main idea/s use your own words in crafting your summary.
5. When done with your summary, recheck your output with the original to see if your
output does not stray away from the original text.

 Paraphrasing- On the other hand is a restatement of the main idea and supporting
details of a text and may match the length of the original work you are using for your output.
