Plagiarism http://www3.ntu.edu.sg/lib/plagiarism/index.html
• What is Plagiarism?
The theft of ideas (such as the plots of narrative or dramatic works) or of
written passages or works, where these are passed off as one's own
work without acknowledgement of their true origin; or a piece of
writing thus stolen.
"plagiarism" The Oxford Dictionary of Literary Terms. 2008. Oxford
University Press.
• Some Common Forms
- Copying directly from another source without saying from where you’ve
taken it.
- Using ideas or rephrasing text from another author without attribution.
- Using a diagram, chart or table from another source without
referencing.
- Reusing some parts of your previous assignment.
- Submitting another person’s work as your own.
Plagiarism
• How to avoid it?
- Use your “own voice”.
- Paraphrase.
- Use quotation marks when using exact phrases.
- Cite your sources.
- Organise and track your reading material. You can use a Bibliographic
Management Software such as EndNote to help you with this.
