Academic integrity. Plagiarism – what’s okay and what’s notErika GavilletMedical LibrarianWalton Library
Academic integrity – the dilemma
Show you have done your research…BUT …write something new and original
Appeal to experts and authorities…BUT …improve upon or disagree with experts and
authorities
Academic integrity – the dilemma
Demonstrate you ability to write by mimicking what you hear and read…
BUT …use your own words and voice
Give credit where credit is due…BUT …make your own significant contribution.
Academic integrity – the dilemma
Remember…supervisors and other readers will not be able to tell if plagiarism is deliberate or not.
You are under pressure with your lab experiment which then goes wrong. Your colleague ran a similar experiment last week and gives you the figures.
You use them in your report. Is this:

When writing your research, you take short phrases from a number of sources, add your own words to make a coherent structure and list all
your sources in your bibliography. Is this:

Types of plagiarism
For the following slides, demonstrating examples of plagiarism, I am indebted to South Bank University’s website:
Acceptable and Unacceptable use of non-original material
http://cise.sbu.ac.uk/plagposter/[Accessed 5th May 2008]
‘Copy and paste’
The writer copies the exact words that have already been published into their work without any indication of their origin.
Disguise
Some words are changed from the original source. Arguably a more serious offence than ‘copy and
paste’ as it indicates a deliberate attempt to pass the work off as the writer’s own.
Incorrect referencing
Where it is not made clear within the writer’s work which parts of the writing have been taken from the original source and which belong to them.
Mosiac
Fragments of the original are scattered between parts that the writer has written.
The sequence of ideas and examples show that it has been lifted directly from the original source.
The writer’s comments between add no value or make no difference to the writing.
Multiple sources
Where content is mixed from more than one source. This does not make the writing any more original or
valuable
Paraphrasing
In this example, nearly all the words are those of the writer
However, the sequence, the ideas, the references used to support the arguments etc are identical to the original source.
Correct but inappropriate usage
No attempt to mislead or cheat…correctly acknowledged and formatted…
But so little of the writer’s work that it is pointless!
So…when should you give credit?
When you are referring to someone else’s words or ideas
When using information gained through interviewing someone
So…when should you give credit? (cont..)
When you reproduce or reprint any diagrams, illustrations, charts or photos
When you choose to use the exact words or ‘unique phrase’ from another’s work
Making sure you are safe
Techniques to ensure that you can’t be accused of plagiarism…
When researching, note-taking, and interviewing
Make sure you indicate clearly when the words belong to someone else – use a ‘Q’ in the margin, or quotation marks.
Always keep a full record of your sources (page numbers, titles etc)
Always acknowledge in your final text using in-text citation, footnotes, bibliography, quotation marks or indirect quotations.
When paraphrasing or summarising
Write your paraphrase or summary from memory – don’t look at the original text. Then check with the original for accuracy.
In your work, begin by giving credit: According to Esther Blodgitt…
If you want to use a unique phrase, put it in quotation marks: The Prime Minister’s response to the opposition was a “poisonous diatribe” (Blodgitt).
Quotes
Don’t use too many – it starts to look like there’s not many of your own ideas in your work
Mention the author somewhere in the sentence and use quotation marks.
You have found a fantastic article. You copy out a few sentences word for word, include quotation marks and an in text citation and
include full details in your bibliography. Is this?
