Plagiarism Plagiarism is the representation of another’s ideas or writing as his own. There are two common types of plagiarism: • A deliberate attempt on the part of the student to pass off as his own writing or ideas of another person (student, parent, published or unpublished author, et al.) • A failure to acknowledge indebtedness to outside material that results from the student’s lack of attention to proper procedures for documentation. Both types of plagiarism are serious violations of the principles of academic integrity. Plagiarism will not be tolerated. See the Fayette County Schools “Statement of Plagiarism” for middle schools and high schools and the Code of Conduct for more information on penalties associated with plagiarism. Steps to avoiding plagiarism: 1. Always write down the sources that you use in your research. Most teachers require Source Cards to track the sources you use. You can keep a research log before you make Source Cards if this is easier. Research log format. You may use this form, one your teacher provides, or one that you design yourself. Just make sure that you record all the information necessary to complete Source Cards and later the Annotated Bibliography or Works Cited page for your research paper or project. N.B.: It is easier to record this information when you first find it, than it is to have to go back and find it again if your information was not complete or accurate. Trust us on this one! 2. If you have used an idea from another author, cite it in both parenthetical documentation and the Works Cited page. All ideas that are not your original thoughts must be cited. This includes all direct quotations and paraphrases. Failure to include both parenthetical documentation and a Works Cited page is an act of plagiarism. 3. If you are in doubt about whether to cite a source or not, cite it. If later you realize the information is common or general knowledge that does not require documentation, you can always remove the citations. Please note: Your paper may be reviewed by anti-plagiarism software. - 3 - Research Paper Survival Guide
