2

What is Plagiarism?

• Plagiarism is “the action or practice of taking someone else's work, idea, etc., and passing it off as one's own; literary theft.” – Oxford English Dictionary • Plagiarism is not only mere copying of text; it also refers to using another's ideas as one's own, regardless of the specific words or constructs used to express that idea • You will commit plagiarism if fail to include quotations or acknowledge the sources in your paper • Articles increasingly available as electronic text in Internet, has made the physical act of copying the work of others much easier, imply increasing risk of plagiarism 3

Examples of Plagiarism

Word-to-word Copy • Original • Your Text:

Plagiarized!

The concept of identity construction is crucial in second language learning. English learning at the tertiary level is both a process of acquiring language skills, and a process of understanding who the learners are and how they are related to the learning community, the national sociocultural context and the imagined global community.

4

Examples of Plagiarism

Using other’s words and ideas without acknowledgment • Original • Your Text:

Plagiarized!

The concept of identity construction is crucial in second language learning. Post-secondary level English learning not only represents a process of acquiring language skills, but also helps the learners to understand own identities and their relationship with the learning community.

5

More about Plagiarism

• Is it plagiarism if I just copy a few words from other’s work?

Yes. The quantity of words being copied is not the main concern. The important point is that you have copied other’s work and made no acknowledgement.

• Is it an act of plagiarism if I copy from an unpublished work?

Yes. It doesn't matter whether the work which is copied has been published or not. The key point is that it was copied from someone else without making acknowledgement.

6

More about Plagiarism

• What is the result if you found commit plagiarism?

In academic community, plagiarism is considered unethical and dishonest. For more details about HKIEd, please refer to “Chapter 8 Academic Honesty and Copyright” of Student Handbook 2013/14: “Any alleged cases of academic misconduct will be handled by the Head of the academic department concerned who shall then establish an investigation committee to conduct a thorough investigation if a a prima facie case for plagiarism exists … ” http://www.ied.edu.hk/reg/student_handbook/text_en8.html

• Is plagiarism the same as copyright infringement?

They are closely related but not exactly the same. Plagiarism is an act of academic dishonesty while copyright infringement is legal offence. 7

How to Avoid Plagiarism?

• Use Quotations to show clearly the extent of other’s work 1. Direct quotation When discussing potential problems in building collaborative digital resources, Straw warned that: Preservation and security concerns will also arise in putting together digital partnerships. Proper professional handling of archival, original, fragile, unique, and sometimes rare items during the digitization process should be taken seriously. (Straw, 2009, p.109) 2. Quoting short part of sentence When discussing potential problems in building collaborative digital resources, Straw pointed out the critical issues of “preservation and security concerns”. Safe handling of materials during digitization must be assured among digital partners. (Straw, 2009) • Paraphrasing (re-writing in your own words) • Cite & list your sources 9

Citing References

Allows you to use other people’s work by giving credit to the original author without plagiarizing

Provides documentation for all facts and figures that are not common knowledge

Strengthens your work by lending outside support to your arguments

Provides the source information for others who wants to find out more about your ideas

Accurately prepared references help establish your credibility as a careful researcher

Out of order/incomplete citations cause inaccurate citation network indexing

10

What’s the difference between reference list and bibliography?

A reference list consists of all sources cited in the text of a paper, listed alphabetically by author’s surname. A bibliography may include resources that were consulted but not cited in the text as well as an annotated description of each one. Bibliographies may be organized chronologically, or by subject, rather than alphabetically.

APA Style: Citing References in Text

References are cited in text with author-date system and listed alphabetically in the reference list

Example •

Each entry in the reference list must be cited in text

Each reference cited in text must appear in the reference list with the exception of the follow two kinds of works: 1. Classical works: Bible, Qu’ran, Dao De Jing, etc.

e.g. (2 Cor. 5:17 New International Version) (Qur’an 5:3-4) 2. Personal communications (non-recoverable data) e.g. B. H. Philips (personal communication, May 11, 2001)

18

Citing Works by One Author

Two common formats to reference citations in text:

Citation is integrated into the text: “If the name of the author appears as part of the narrative…cite only the year of publication in parentheses” (APA, 2010, p.174).

Salvia (2007) considered inclusive education as…

Citation is placed in parentheses: If the author’s name is not included in the narrative, cite “both the name and the year separated by a comma, in parentheses” (APA, 2010, p.174).

In a recent study of inclusive education (Salvia, 2007) …

19

Citing Works by Multiple Authors

2 Authors Cite both authors every time Smith and Johnson (1998) found that the system … The findings confirmed with previous study ( Smith & Johnson , 1998)

3-5 Authors First citation: Cheung, Li, Searle, Chan, and Frazer (1996) reviewed the theory of … Subsequent citations: Cheung et al.

(1996) further developed a measuring system …

6 or more Authors Use et al. (not italicized) for the first and subsequent citations Kohn et al.

(2007) suggested the possible causes …

20

Writing Style

DO NOT use periods with web addresses in text or in the reference list

In text: include URL in parentheses, avoid ending a sentence with a URL Example: The APA ( http://www.apa.org

) has updated the rules of publication style in July 2009, with expanded discussions on ethics … Horton, M. (2009, September 9). H1N1 prevention tips by Dr. Mark Horton [Video file]. Retrieved from http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UT2BGE_XyIY

21

Page Numbers

When paraphrasing, APA style does not require page numbers in the in-text citation.

According to Section 6.03 of Publication Manual of the American Psychological Association, 6th edition, for direct quotation of sources, you have to provide the author, year, and specific page citation or paragraph number for nonpaginated material respectively in the text.

Example This idea was recently explored by Palladino and Wade (2010). They noted that "a flexible mind is a healthy mind" (Palladino & Wade, 2010, p. 147).

http://blog.apastyle.org/apastyle/2010/03/how-to-cite-direct quotations.html

22

Direct Quotation

Quotations fewer than 40 words - quotation is integrated into the text with double quotation marks.

Quotations more than 40 words 1. Display it in a freestanding block of text and omit the quotation marks 2. At the end of a block quotation, cite the quoted source and the page or paragraph number in parentheses after the final punctuation mark 3. Indent the block about a half inch from the left margin (in the same position as a new paragraph) http://blog.apastyle.org/apastyle/2013/06/block-quotations-in apa-style.html

23

Footnotes

When using APA style, you need not use footnotes at the bottom of the page or at the end of your paper for reference citation.

According to Section 2.12 of Publication Manual of the American Psychological Association, 6th edition, use of footnotes serve two functions: 1. To provide additional content; 2. To acknowledge copyright permission status.
