HR VOICE . JULY 2014Plagiarism is intellectual theft as the plagiariser stands to gainsome benefit or unfair advantage over his or her classmates.The word ‘plagiarism’ comes from the Latin word ‘plagiarius’which means to kidnap. So plagiarists, in this sense, kidnapthe work of others and present it as their own. In this wayplagiarism makes a mockery of the five fundamental valuesof a university. It is not honest; is destroys the trust betweenteachers and their students and impacts respect in thatrelationship; is does not promote fairness in the way work isassessed; and students transgress the responsibility they haveto fairly portray their work and their abilities.GETSTARTEDTODAYREAD MOREAND GETACCESS TO THE BENEFITSOVER HEREJOIN NOWExamples of plagiarism• presenting the ideas, words or results of another personas your own, without acknowledging the original author, i.e.copying without citing your source;• using direct words in sentences, paragraphs or partsof articles and books without “quotation marks” and/orother appropriate acknowledgement (e.g. not citing a pagenumber) even if you acknowledge the source in the text orin the reference list;• formulating your words so closely to those of the originalauthor that it is obvious that you could not have writtenthem without having had the source next to you (i.e. yourparaphrasing of the author’s words is too close to the originalauthor’s use of the words) even if you did acknowledge yoursource in the text and in the reference list;• composing a paragraph by taking short phrases from anumber of sources and putting them together, perhapsalso including some words of your own, to make a coherentwhole, and then attributing the whole lot to one source orproviding no attribution at all;• providing misleading attribution by using the wordsof another but citing a more respectable source;SHDC.249/2014(5)• collaborating with others on work that you are required toundertake individually;• using your own work, previously submitted for assessment,or your work that is in the public arena, without citing it;• downloading sentences, paragraphs or sections of writingsfrom the Internet and using them without quotation marksand/or proper acknowledgement (you need to cite theauthor [even if it is a company] and provide a paragraphnumber for a direct web quotation).The above examples have been summarised by the Turnitin(2012) organisation:Keyword DescriptionClone Submitting someone else’s work, word for word,as your ownCTRL-C Writing something that contains substantialportions of text from a single source withoutalterationsFind-Replace Changing key words and phrases butkeeping the essential content (wording) of the sourceRemix Paraphrasing from other sources and makingthe content fit together seamlesslySTUDENT CHAPTER .
