ABOUT PLAGIARISM
(By The Department of Western Languages of B.Ü.)
Plagiarism is a serious ethical offense that carries severe penalties. A student who is found guilty of plagiarism on any type of written assignment, take-home examination, term paper, report, project, or research paper receives a grade of F for that work and may be reported to the disciplinary committee. It is every student's responsibility to know what constitutes plagiarism and to use proper documentation when using others' words and ideas in his or her writing. Please read the following information adapted from the MLA Handbook carefully and check your references before turning in any type of written work in your courses.
Also be aware that submitting in a course a paper done for another course is self-plagiarism, that is, another form of cheating. If you want to rework a paper that you prepared for another course, you should ask your current instructor for permission to do so and submit both versions of your paper. If there are going to be significant overlaps between the papers you are preparing for two different courses you are currently taking, you should obtain permission from both instructors and submit both papers to both instructors.
Plagiarism refers to a form of cheating that has been defined as "the false assumption of authorship: the wrongful act of taking the product of another person's mind, and presenting it as one's own" (Alexander Lindey, Plagiarism and Originality [New York: Harper, 1952] 2). To use another person's ideas or expressions in your writing without acknowledging the source is to plagiarize. Plagiarism, then, constitutes intellectual theft.
At all times during research and writing, guard against the possibility of inadvertent plagiarism by keeping careful notes that distinguish between your own musings and thoughts and the material you gather from others. Forms of plagiarism include the failure to give appropriate acknowledgment when repeating another's wording or particularly apt phrase, when paraphrasing another's argument, or when presenting another's line of thinking.
You may certainly use other persons' words and thoughts in your research paper, but the borrowed material must not seem your creation. Suppose, for example, that you want to use the material in the following passage, which appears on page 625 of an essay by Wendy Martin in the book Columbia Literary History of the United States:
Some of Dickinson's most powerful poems express her firmly
held conviction that life cannot be fully comprehended without an
understanding of death.
If you write the sentence above without any documentation, you have committed plagiarism. However, you may use the same sentence if you use quotation marks and cite its source:
"Some of Dickinson's most powerful poems express her firmly
held conviction that life cannot be fully comprehended without an
understanding of death" (Martin, 625).
If you change this sentence and put it into your own words and then use it without proper documentation, as it is done below, you have committed plagiarism again:
Emily Dickinson strongly believed that we cannot understand
life fully unless we also comprehend death.
But you may present the material if you cite your source:
As Wendy Martin has suggested, Emily Dickinson strongly
believed that we cannot understand life fully unless we also
comprehend death (625).
Or:
Emily Dickinson strongly believed that we cannot understand
life fully unless we also comprehend death (Martin, 625).
The source is indicated, in accordance with MLA style, by the name of the author and by a page reference in parentheses. The name refers the reader to the corresponding entry in the works-cited list, which appears at the end of the paper:
Martin, Wendy. "Emily Dickinson." Columbia Literary History of
the United States. Emory Elliott, gen. ed. New York: Columbia UP,
1988, 609-26.
In writing your research paper, then, you should document everything that you borrow-not only direct quotations and paraphrases but also information and ideas. Of course, common sense as well as ethics should determine what you document. For example, you rarely need to give sources for familiar proverbs ("You can't judge a book by its cover"), well-known quotations ("We shall overcome"), or common knowledge ("George Washington was the first president of the United States"). But you must indicate the source of any appropriated material that readers might otherwise mistake for your own. If you have any doubt about whether or not you are committing plagiarism, cite your source or sources.
MLA Handbook for Writers of Research Papers, 5th ed., New
York: Modern Language Association of America, 1999, 30-33.
There are several sources on the internet that you can consult for further explanations and examples of plagiarism, legitimate quotations and paraphrases.
The University of Wisconsin-Madison Writing Center Writer's Handbook is a particularly helpful one:
