Introduction to Oral Citations:What do you think about this picture?

Thinking about Plagiarism

The coffee giant Starbucks is suing a Bangkok-based coffee stall for copying its logo for approximately US$9,685

What about Plagiarism at PSU?

•Plagiarism includes the incorporation of ideas (whether paraphrased or lifted verbatim) from outside sources, regardless of the author (i.e., professional scholar, website contributor, faculty member, fellow students, etc.), without proper citation of that source for those ideas.

•Whether such incorporation of ideas is deliberate or not, it may well still constitute plagiarism.

Why Is Oral Citation Important?

•1. To avoid plagiarism

•2. To give credit to the original author

•3. To enhance a speaker’s credibility

When Should We Use Oral Citation?

1. If the idea you are talking about is not your original thought

2. If you are quoting a source 3. If you are paraphrasing a source 4. If you are using information that is not widely known

What does an Oral Citation Look Like?

•Direct citation

•Quoting

1. Must reference the original source

2. The text produced is the exact length of the original text quoted

3. Use the original author’s exact words

•Indirect citation

•Paraphrasing

1. Must reference the original source

2. The text produced may be shorter or longer than the original text

3. Must use your own words

Example One Continued…

•Author : Jill U. Adams

•Date: June 19, 2015

•Title of the Source: CQ Researcher

•Direct Quote:

•In her article entitled New Gene Therapies Show Promise from The CQ Researcher on June 19, 2015, (quote), Jill U. Adams wrote, “A new type of gene therapy holds promise for helping patients with diseases that result from inherited gene variants.” (end quote)

•Paraphrase:

•In her article entitled New Gene Therapies Show Promise from The CQ Researcher on June 19, 2015, Jill U. Adams argued that there is a new type of gene therapy that is able to fight diseases that are genetically inherited.

Example Two (Website)

Title of website: Scientific AmericanAuthor: Charles Seife, an America JournalistDate: November 27th

Example Two Continued•D

irect Quoting: •A

s the article by Charles Seife, an American journalist, on the website of scientificamerican. Com claimed on November 27, 2013, (quote) “23andMe reserves the right to use your personal information—including your genome—to inform you about events and to try to sell you products and services. ” (end quote)

•Paraphrasing:

•According to an article by Charles Seiefe, an American journalist, on scientificamerican. Com, published on November 27, 2013, 23andMe claims the right to use their users’ personal information so that they can sell them products and services.

Verbs and Phrases  General verbs  

 Say, state, mention, explain, find, etc. 

 Some Factive verbs (fact)

 Some Non-factive verbs (opinion)

 Believe, claim, suggest, argue, indicate, propose,  articulate, think, etc.

Activity One for Paraphrasing

•1. Five students in the class will be assigned as readers who will read their quotes (from the presentation articles) loudly and clearly.

•2. When one reader is reading his or her note, all the other students are listeners who should listen very carefully.

•3. After the reader is done reading, one of the listeners will be asked to paraphrase the reading contents by using the sentences on the next slide as their opening.

Activity One for Paraphrasing •X

stated that…

•X explained that…

•X indicated that…

•X claimed that…

•According to X…

Citation Comparison Oral Citation Written Citations

1. Sources must be fully cited (author, title, and date of source) within the body of the speech itself.

E.g, According to Jill Adam’s article, Manipulating the human genome, in the CQ Researcher on June 19th, 2015, (quote) “A new type of gene therapy holds promise for helping patients with diseases that result from inherited gene variants.” (end quote)

Sources are partially cited within the body with either a full citation attached as a works cited page or as a footnote.

E.g, According to Adams, J. U. (2015), “A new type of gene therapy holds promise for helping patients with diseases that result from inherited gene variants.”

Footnote/ referencesAdams, J. U. (2015, June 19). Manipulating the human genome. CQ Researcher.

2. You must state “quote” and “end quote” to signify what information is being quoted.

Activity Two for Oral Citation

•1. Each student will receive a note on which there are two opening phrases.

•2. Take some time to plan how you will use your two opening phrases in your group presentation. You must use them both.

Group Presentations•1

) While the other groups are presenting, take notes.

•Then….

•5) With your group, prepare a written statement (about a paragraph) describing what you see as the main advantages and disadvantages of genomic sequencing, as well as your overall thoughts on the topic.
