ADVICE TO HELP YOU PREVENT PLAGIARISM IN
YOUR WORK
A
You must clearly indicate which part of
your work is drawn from somewhere
else. Paraphrasing is when you use what
someone else has said or written, but
you write it in your own words. If you
paraphrase you must include an in-text
citation so that readers can locate the
source.
B
Carefully selected quotations add to the
points you are making, but they don't, in
themselves, add to the quality of your
work. Put another way, if you submitted an
essay made up entirely of quotations from
other sources you would probably gain a
low or zero mark. It is fine to quote other
people occasionally, and it is expected that
you do-but make sure you provide your
own contribution or viewpoint. It is your
work that earns you marks.
Direct quotes .... should always be put
inside quotation marks. Longer quotes
can be indented so they stand apart from
the main body of the text. Each quote
must be followed by an in-text citation.
C
Creation is when you produce something
new. If you edit an existing item it would
still need to be referenced.
D
Make sure you understand what type of
referencing protocol you are required to
follow for your unit.
- For text-based assessments you will
usually need to include in-text citations
and a reference list that gives the full
details of the source material.
- For visual-based artefacts or portfolios
you will usually need to include a
reference list that gives the full details
of the sources that you referred to when
creating your work, anything that you
have used and modified must be listed.
E
Always keep your work and the original
reference together. Losing the original
source of the information is poor
academic practice, and it means you
might end up submitting work without a
reference, or you might end up submitting
it with the wrong reference. You could,
at any time, be required to produce the
original source for comparison.
F
This is very important. If you copy and
paste from a source and fail to reference
it properly, then you have plagiarised.
It doesn't matter whether you did this
intentionally or not. Depending on the
circumstances of the case, plagiarism may
be treated as academic misconduct where
serious penalties can apply.
G
Often students are encouraged to work
together, to cooperate by sharing ideas
and understandings. However, individual
assessments (where your name is the only
name on the cover sheet) are meant to be
your own work.
Copying from someone else's work is
plagiarism, and serious penalties can apply.
Do not allow anyone else to
submit your work as their own: this is
collusion, which is considered academic
misconduct.
