2 Types of Plagiarism by BYU Idaho
Intentional Plagiarism - is the deliverate act of representing the words, ideas, or data of another as one's own without providing proper attribution to the author through quotation, reference, or footnote.
Inadvertent Plagiarism - Involves the inappropriate, but non-deliberate, use of another's words, ideas, or data without proper attribution.
When to cite:
Cite any direct quotation, paraphrase, graphic, or summary
Other information to cite
Anything taken from a different source need to be cited. Other information include but not limited to graphics, pictures, music lyrics written by someone else or anything taken from another source.
Do not cite common knowledge
- Well-now facts
- Historical events
- Facts that are found in several places (Without citation)
- Folklore and myths
Avoiding Plagiarism
"Most cases of plagiarism can be avoided... by citing srouces. Simply acknowledging that certain material has been borrowed, and providing your audience with the information necessary to find that source, is usually enough to prevent plagiarism."
- do not forget quotation marks when using direct quotes
- double check your work and the original source for any possible borrowed phrases and missed citations
- cite anything that you aren't sure of, just to be safe
- use an informal, in-text citation if a citation style isn't specified: In his essay "The Pleasure of Eating," Wendell Berry argues that "The specialization of production induces specialization of consumption."
