6. How to Avoid
Plagiarizing
Use a bibliography to list all
sources referenced or used

in a work provokes
skepticism and even
outrage among readers,
whose trust in the author
has been broken”(Gibaldi
53).Include in-text citations to
reference your bibliography
When in doubt, ALWAYS
cite!

Notes de l'éditeur
Academic Integrity: you represent not only yourself but your parents, your beliefs, and your school
“Think Critically, Live Honorably, and Lead Confidently”
Ex. In 2002 reports of wide spread plagiarism led to a 20 month long investigation at the Univ. of VA which ultimately led to the expulsion of over 45 students.
Teachers are not dumb. They know every trick in the book and they are looking for plagiarism. When you get to college they even use software to detect plagiarism. At Hopkins we used TurnitIn. *Turnitin for Admissions is used to detect plagiarism in college applications.
From MLA 7th ed: “Plagiarism is derived from the Latin Word plagiarius (“kidnapper”), to plagiarize means “to commit literary theft” and to “present as new and original an idea or product derived from an existing source” – Merriam-Webster’s collegiate Dictionary 11th ed; 2003
Quotations must be identical to the original, using a narrow segment of the source. They must match the source document word for word and must be attributed to the original author.
Paraphrasing involves putting a passage from source material into your own words. A paraphrase must also be attributed to the original source. Paraphrased material is usually shorter than the original passage, taking a somewhat broader segment of the source and condensing it slightly.
Summarizing involves putting the main idea(s) into your own words, including only the main point(s). Once again, it is necessary to attribute summarized ideas to the original source. Summaries are significantly shorter than the original and take a broad overview of the source material
The best way to avoid plagiarizing is to be aware of what you are doing (researching, writing, brainstorming) and to always give credit where its due.
The burden of proof is on you. You can not claim ignorance. It is your responsibility to cite where every source came from.
If anything is not wholly and 100% an original idea or product then you MUST cite it.
NoodleTools will help you format your cites but when in doubt add as much information as possible. The key is to give enough information that a stranger would be able to track down that source. Citations are like breadcrumbs leading back to the original source that you found.
What is Tangible?

Boolean Searching
Broaden or narrow your search by combing words or phrases using the Boolean operators AND, OR, and NOT.
The results of performing Boolean searches are sometimes illustrated by the diagrams below (called Venn diagrams.) The diagrams show graphically howusing the AND operator narrows a search,using OR broadens a search,and using NOT excludes material from a search.
Many databases and search engines have an Advanced Search interface that allows for Boolean searching; you can also try just using a Boolean operator in the main search box.
Famous Examples of Plagiarism:
- Hunger Games and Battle Royale
A young Helen Keller was accused in 1892 of plagiarizing Margaret T. Canby's story The Frost Fairies in her short story The Frost King. She was brought before a tribunal of the Perkins Institute for the Blind, where she was acquitted by a single vote. She said she was worried she may have read The Frost Fairies and forgotten it, "remained paranoid about plagiarism ever after"[47][48] and said that this led her to write an autobiography: the one thing she knew must be original
In 1973 The Beatles were sued for plagiarizing Chuck Berry's "You Can't Catch Me" in their hit "Come Together". John Lennon and producer Morris Levy signed an agreement before trial. (wikipedia)
