8. Research Ethics
• Plagiarism - “...the wrongful appropriation or
purloining, and publication as one’s own, the ideas or
the expression of the ideas (literary, artistic, musical,
mechanical, etc.) of an other.” – see Heterick Help
Page Also Student Code of Conduct
• Copyright - intended to promote the arts and the
sciences. It does this by providing authors of original
literary, dramatic, musical, artistic, and certain other
intellectual works the ability to control how their work is
used by others.

9. Research Ethics
• In other words, to plagiarize is to copy
someone else’s work without giving him/her
credit.
• Plagiarism is not always intentional. You can
do it by accident, but it is still against the law.
If you ever have a question about whether
something is plagiarized, please ask!

10. Research Ethics 2
How may I avoid plagiarizing?
• Identify any information that would not be considered
common knowledge
• Unless in direct quotes, make sure you paraphrase what the
original author said
• Use a quote if you can’t think of a way to paraphrase the
information
• always, Always, ALWAYS cite the source of any information
in your paper which is not considered common knowledge.
If you are unsure if something is common knowledge, cite it!

So what is common knowledge
Things that are found in a number of places, and are
likely to be known by a large number of people.
Examples:
– The sky is blue
– Grass is usually green

States

12. Research Ethics
What does paraphrase mean?
Main Entry: para·phrase
1 : a restatement of a text, passage,
or work giving the meaning in another
form
From Merriam-Webster’s Online Dictionary http://www.m-w.com
12

13. Research Ethics
What does it mean to put something in
my own words? 4
When you paraphrase something, it is different than
putting it in your own words. When you put something
in your own words, you are making a statement about
the information you have found, rather than just
restating the information. Usually there is an opinion
of some sort in something “In your own words”

14. Research Ethics
What is a quote?
• Main Entry: quote
1 a : to speak or write (a passage) from
another usually with credit
acknowledgment b : to repeat a passage
from, especially in substantiation or
illustration
• From Merriam-Webster’s Online Dictionary http://www.m-w.com

15. Research Ethics
What is a citation?
• A citation is how you indicate where your information came
from.
• There are four citation styles that are in frequent use at the
college level. They are:
• MLA (Modern Language Association)
• APA (American Psychological Association)
• CMS (Chicago Manual of Style)
• Turabian (Kate Turabian's A Manual for Writers of Term Papers,
Theses, and Dissertations, 6th ed., 1996 )
• Each style has a way to do in-text citations, a way to do a
bibliography, and a way to do footnotes and endnotes.
• Always confirm with each instructor the style required.
• You need to learn how to do citations, etc., but there is a citation
software management tool available to all ONU students, faculty
and staff…
