    Academic Honesty, Plagiarism & Collusion

    What is Academic Honesty?What is Plagiarism?What is Collusion?Examples of Plagiarism

    Plagiarism and Collusion in Group WorkWhy is Plagiarism so serious?

    What is Academic Honesty?Academic honesty means the use of ones own thoughts and materials in the writing ofpapers, taking of tests, and other classroom related activities. Students are expected togive full credit for the borrowing of others words or ideas. Intentional or unintentionaluse of anothers words or ideas without acknowledging this use constitutes plagiarism.

    What is Plagiarism?Plagiarism is the act of representing as ones own original work the creative works of another,without appropriate acknowledgment of the author or source. (Creative works may includepublished and unpublished written documents, interpretations, computer software, designs,music, sounds, images, photographs, and ideas or ideological frameworks gained throughworking with another person or in a group. These works may be in print and/or electronicmedia.)

    What is Collusion?Collusion is the presentation by a student of an assignment as his or her own which is infact the result in whole or in part of unauthorised collaboration with another person orpersons. Collusion involves the cooperation of two or more students in plagiarism or otherforms of academic misconduct. Both the student presenting the assignment and the student(s)willingly supplying unauthorised material (colluders) are considered participants in the actof academic misconduct.

    Examples of PlagiarismThe following are examples of plagiarism where appropriate acknowledgement or referencingof the author or source does not occur:

    Copying directly (or allowing to be copied) paragraphs, sentences, a single sentenceor significant parts of a sentence. An end reference without quotation marks aroundthe copied text may also constitute plagiarism;

    Copying ideas, concepts, research results, statistical tables, computer programs,designs, images, sounds or text or any combination of these;

    Paraphrasing of anothers work closely, with minor changes but with the essentialmeaning, form and/or progression of ideas maintained;

    Relying on a specific idea or interpretation that is not ones own without identifyingwhose idea or interpretation it is;

    Cutting or pasting statements from multiple sources or piecing together work ofothers and representing them as original work;

    Presenting as independent, work done in collaboration with other people (eg, anotherstudent, a tutor);

    Submitting, as ones own, all or part of another students original work; Cheating in an exam, either by copying from other students or by using unauthorised

    notes or aids. Presenting as independent, work done in collaboration with otherpeople (eg, another student, a tutor);

    Preparing an original and correctly referenced assignment and submitting part or allof the assignment twice for separate subjects or marks.

    Plagiarism and Collusion in Group WorkPlagiarism and collusion in group work are forms of academic misconduct and can occurwhen one or more students:

    copies (or allows to be copied) from other members of a group while working in thegroup;

    copies the original work, in whole or in part, of an individual who is not a memberof the group, with or without the knowledge of other members of the group, and

    contributes the plagiarised work to a group assignment; contributes less, little, or nothing to a group assignment and then claims an equalshare of the work or marks; or

    discusses with other members of the group how to approach a common assessmentitem that requires individual submissions and relies on the same or very similarapproach in the submitted assessment, without any acknowledgement of collaborationwith colleagues and without the permission of the assessor.

    Why is Plagiarism so serious?As outlined above, plagiarism is taking and presenting the thoughts, writings, etc, ofother people as your own. In not crediting the source, a person is guilty of intellectualfraud. It is unacceptable at all times; it is completely unacceptable at the National Collegeof Ireland.If a student is found to have deliberately plagiarised the work of another including copyingthe work of other students the penalties are severe.

    Sometimes a student might accidentally plagiarise. This is usually the result of a lack of academicwriting skills, inexperience, sloppy note taking, or a combination of these. It is important that you

    learn and follow the practice established for citation of written works for your subject, projects,theses and essays.

    Harvard Referencing

    The system used in National College of Ireland is the Harvard System. When writing apiece of work you will need to refer in your text to material written or produced by others.This procedure is called citing or quoting references. Consistency and accuracy are importantto enable readers to identify and locate the material to which you have referred. The same

    set of rules should be followed every time you cite a reference.

    Why Harvard? This system developed in the USA and grew in popularity during the 1950sand 1960s especially in the physical and natural sciences and more recently the social sciences.Over several decades it has become the most common system internationally and isfrequently the standard house style for academic journals. The Harvard system has advantagesof flexibility, simplicity, clarity and ease of use both for author and reader. There is no thirdplace to look such as footnotes and chapter references which are features of other systems.

    Please note. Whilst every possible effort has been made to accurately and consistently reflectthe Harvard style in the examples below, small errors may occur. This guide is regularlyrevised and any errors which are identified will be rectified.

    Bibliography or Reference listThe Man in the moons from Carrickmacross, Surely the ultimate epitaph is that your namemight be carved upon the surface of the moon. The likelihood of this happening isremote and remoter still for a semi-educated farm labourer who left his native Carrickmacross by horse and cart in 1927. But this was the honour granted to Bernard Callan.His name was inscribed on a plaque left upon the Sea of Tranquillity by the departing

    Apollo astronauts in 1969. In this documentary, his nephew, Mickey Birdy explores thisremarkable career and in the process uncovers that the small community of Corduff inCounty Monaghan produced more than its share of homespun genius.

    Interview

    As a personal interview is not a public source, it is not considered to be recoverable data,therefore you cannot list it in your bibliography. However, you can refer to the interviewin the body of your text by citing the details., e.g. In an interview (Barry Nov2008) thefindings of the report were discussed and Barry agreed

    Things to consider when writing, quoting and paraphrasing..

    An essay should be written in your own words presenting your own argument and analysis.

    Indirect citation (their ideas, your words)

    Put the ideas into your own words (paraphrase) and acknowledge the source of the information.Authors name as part of the sentence: Bloggs (1996) argues that intervention early in the process is essential.

    Anders and Wilson (1993) identify three main ways in which interference typicallyoccurs.

    Fisher, King and Lyle (1997) define adolescence as the decade between childhoodand maturity.

    As Fisher et al. (1997) have indicated, mental health is defined by societal norms.

    Authors name NOT included in the sentence: Mental health is defined by societal norms (Fisher, King & Lyle, 1997). Adolescence, defined by some as the decade between childhood and maturity

    (Fisher et al., 1997), is a period of rapid change for young people. Topical treatment was popular in the 1970s (Bruin, 1989).

    Direct quotation (their ideas, their words)

    Use quotations sparingly and paraphrase wherever possible.If you can express the idea in your own words, you are more likely to convince the lecturerthat you have understood what you have read. Direct quotations can be used if you... cannot paraphrase using fewer words than the original,

    cannot paraphrase without distorting the meaning, wish to discuss the exact words used in the source for example to analyse a

    definition or to critique perceived bias, OR... if the original wording is particularly memorable, witty or appropriate.

    If you must quote, then do so briefly.

    n.b. An essay full of direct quotation will not be marked as highly as one in which thewriter has transformed the ideas into different words and created an individual point ofview from those ideas.Essays that consist largely of strings of quotations are unacceptable.

    1. All direct quotations must be accurately reproduced (using the exact words), andpage numbers must be included in your citation: Bloggs (1996, p.24) argues that although such intervention is essential, it is

    nowadays neglected.2. An ellipsis (3 dots ...) can be used to indicate that part of the original passage has

    been omitted:(If quotations are short, two lines or so, they can be incorporated into the text, butmust be enclosed within quotation marks). A modern slant on the old tale is that Samson needed that cut ... to see in new

    ways (Jones & Byron, 1992, p. 248).

    30

  • 8/2/2019 Golden Rule Referencing

    33/48

    3. Quotations longer than three lines should be indented; quotation marks are not usedin this case:

    Another situation occurs when the subtypes are nonexclusive. In other words, thesubtypes may overlap in ways that may cause an iteration or recursion.Joiner et al. 1998.

    Components

    The principal components required for an in-text citation are authorand date and frequently a page number.

    The author(s) is the person(s) primarily responsible for the work. Date is the official publication date of the source. Page number(s) is the page number within the source:

    Always use page numbers whenever directly quoting or closely paraphrasing anargument or idea.

    Cite the sourcewith page numbers if the idea, argument or example, etc, is in aparticular part of the text or journal; Cite the sourcewithout page numbers if the idea, argument or example, etc, is

    a theme which runs through much of the text or article, or your own summary or interpretation of the information.

    The order of citation

    The general order of in-text citation is: Surname of the author, followed by yearof publication, which can be followed by the page number(s)

    Fewer than three authors

    In the text you should give the surname/surnames (do not use initials or first names in thetext) and the year of publication of each author.e.g.The method shows that people do not accept change readily (Jones 1983). or

    Smith (1922) states that the experiment was a failure. orSmith and Fredricks (1922) state that the experiment was a failure.

    If there are authors with the same name in your bibliography, use their initials to distinguishbetween them.e.g.The method shows that people do not accept change readily (Smith, H & Macintosh 1983).

    Three or more authors

    Where there are numerous authors, the first time that you cite the work you should listeach author as above. Subsequently use the surname of the first author followed by et al.(short for et alia meaning and the others) in your citation.

    31

  • 8/2/2019 Golden Rule Referencing

    34/48

    Initially:Jones, Smith, Alexander and Macintosh (1994) state that the sky is pink.

    Thereafter:Jones et al. (1994) observed that the ground was also pink.

    No known author

    Sometimes there is no formal information about the author. This may occur because theauthor is not formally known, or the publisher is considered the author, or the organisationis the author.

    Author is not formally known; e.g.

    ([Smith] 1993)

    The publisher is considered the author; e.g.

    (Microsoft 1995)

    The organisation is considered the author; e.g.

    (CSIRO 1990)

    Chapter in a book

    Chapters in a book (or other type of multi-section or multi-chapter publication) are oftenwritten by different authors. The in-text citation should gives the author(s) of the relevantchapter, together with the publication date of the book. Full details would be given in theBibliography or Reference List.e.g.

    ...Edis (2002, p 63) dismissed sodicity as being of marginal effect whereas Weatherley(2002, p 419) adopted a position completely contrary to that outlined by White (2002, p666) in deference to Chen (2002, p 16), who was away in China at the time ...

    World Wide Web (www)

    In-text citation of references obtained from the World Wide Web follows the general author-date convention. However, authorship of websites or webpages may be unclear, as may bethe date of publication.

    Generally use the author(or multiple authors) name(s) and date if available. e.g....results from recent surveys suggest a fundamental shift in landholders perceptionsabout the continued clearing of forested areas (Wild 2003)...

    No author(s) identified?Use the name of the publisher of the website and date. e.g.

    ..surveys commissioned recently suggest significant shifts in landholders perceptions

    32

  • 8/2/2019 Golden Rule Referencing

    35/48

    about the effects of land clearing (DSE 2003)...

    Neither author nor publisher identified?Use the title of the relevant webpage (or website) and date. e.g.

    ..there is increasing resistance to logging in many forest areas, as demonstrated in

    recent surveys (A ray of hope in the struggle for Wombat Forest2003)...

    Neither author, publisher nor title identified?It is debatable whether it has any value as a reference. However, if it is essential that youuse it, cite the URL and date. e.g.

    ...recent surveys show significant changes in attitude towards the removal of forestcover (http://www.forestfriend.org n.d.)...

    No obvious publishing date for the website?

    Ifno date can be identified, use n.d. to indicate no date. e.g....an independent survey has confirmed significant changes in attitudes towardslogging (Have the Ents revolted in the Otway Ranges?n.d.) ...

    In all cases, date refers to the date the webpage was published (not the date ofdownloading).

    The date on which you accessed the information would be given in the Bibliographyor Reference List.

    Electronic media

    Can include items such as electronic journals, CD-ROM, video, transcripts of TV and radioprograms and similar publications. These are treated no differently to in-text citations forconventional print publications; the author-date convention is followed.

    Full details (including the electronic format of the publication) would be given in theBibliography or Reference List.

    Repeated citation of the same reference

    Basing a written assignment on only one or two sources is not usually accepted as soundacademic practice. If it occurs, however, avoid excessive repetition of the same in-text citation.One suggestion is to acknowledge that one key reference (cited) has been used for a basictheme or structure throughout. Cite it again only when particularly relevant sections orpoints are being highlighted. Avoid using terms such as op citor ibid, which are easy tomisinterpret and confuse many readers (and writers).e.g.

    ...The report follows the general arguments posited by Sturrock (1948), in his seminalwork on the interpretation of geomorphological phenomena....the sharpy pointy bitswhich jag your bum when you sit on them (Sturrock1948, p 93)....the flatter valley floorswere frequently colonised by the Raj for the purposes of polo, states Sturrock (1948, p312) and the public whipping of peasants ...

    Multiple citations

    Same author Same author; different years

    Arrange in chronological order.

    Same author; same yearsIf there is more than one reference by an author in the same year, these are generallylabelled in order of publication using a lower-case alphabetical suffix. The samesuffix is used to distinguish that reference in the Bibliography or Reference List.

    e.g....Brown (1980, p 61; 1983, p 21; 1987, p 85) stated...or...other researchers faced this problem (Brown 1992a, p 98; James 1994, p 107) whileBrown (1992b, p3; 1994a, p5; 1994b, p3) recognised...

    Same name different authorsYou may need to cite references from two authors who have the same surname and, possibly,the same initial. An easy way to avoid confusion is to use their given and family names forthe in-text citation.e.g.

    ...low-quality rice straw is usually fed to buffalo (James Brogan 1983), while Jane Brogan(1983) observed occasional supplementation of the straw with wilted cassava leaf ...

    Verbal sources

    Covers references such as conversations, seminars, speeches and lectures, etc, for which nopermanent record exists. Such types of reference are generally avoided, as they are difficultto verify.

    Conversations are cited in-text as pers comm, for personal communication.e.g.

    ...one farmer talked about the difficulty of relating any increase in land values toinvestments made in environmental improvement (Hardaker, pers comm 2002)...

    Seminars and speeches are presented to a wider group, thus pers comm is inappropriate.They should be cited using the speakers surname and date of the presentation.e.g.

    ...and shouted, This decision is a tragedy for all residents of Nullingabar Shire. I callon the Mayor to resign immediately. (Mulligan 2001)

    Full details (including verbal/unpublished nature of the source) must be made clear in theBibliography or Reference List.

    34

  • 8/2/2019 Golden Rule Referencing

    37/48

    Unpublished sources

    Can include items such as a Masters or PhD thesis, Honours project, working papers, officereports, e-mails, briefing papers, correspondence, etc. The works can be identified in aprint or electronic form but have never been officially published, egallocated an Inter-

    national Standard Book Number (ISBN), or similar. In-text citation follows the standardauthor-date conventions.

    Full details would be given in the List of References.e.g.

    ...The organic carbon content of the topsoil increases gradually across the site from theNorth to South, from 1.0% C (0.1%) at the southern end to 1.6% C ( 0.1%) at thenorthern end, with a site average 1.3% C (0.1%), probably due to the frequent additionof manure near the house (Edis 1987)...

    or...In a meeting of the Combined Security Forces Committee, it was decided thatlegislative protection against future intrusions was needed (Combined Security ForcesCommittee 1978)...

    Secondhand sources

    When citing an author who was cited in another authors work, provide both authors names.e.g.

    ...Duck eggs are an extremely popular food in Southeast Asia (Branson, cited inSugiyanto 1997)...or...Branson (cited in Sugiyanto 1997) highlighted the popularity of duck eggs in manyparts of Southeast Asia...

    In this example, only Sugiyanto would be named in the Bibliography or Reference Listbecause you did not go directly to Branson, the primary source.

    Legislative sources

    When citing legislative sources, you should cite: the name of the Act concerned,

    the year the Act was passed, the relevant section of the Act.

    Do not cite the page on which that section appears. The section number is sufficient toidentify the precise location within the source.e.g.

    ...This is a requirement of the Finance Bill 2009 (2009) which provides that ...

    Referencing or Bibliographies

    All references cited in the text of a written assignment must be compiled into a List ofReferences or a Bibliography at the end of the document (although there are a few minorexceptions to this general rule). Do not list any references which are not cited in the text.

    A List of References identifies sources used in the preparation of a written assignment.Any reader may check the original publication to determine whether it has been correctlyinterpreted and appropriately applied.

    Main Components

    Key components of a reference can be summarised as:

    Who? Author, or authors, of the publication, ie , the person(s) primarily responsible

    for the work. If the source is a publication within a publication eg , a chapter in abook the author(s) of the chapter is given, as is the author (editor) of the completepublication.

    When? Date of publication. What? Full title of the publication. In all cases of a publication within a publication

    eg, a chapter in a book or paper within a journal both the title of the chapter orpaper is given, as is the title of the book or journal.

    Where? Details of the person or entity responsible for publishing the work of theauthor(s). Typically these may include the name of the publisher, location of thepublisher, number of pages, etc.

    A consistent presentation sequence of components is always followed. The number ofcomponents represented in different types of reference can vary but the general sequencesdoes not change, eg:
