PLAGIARISM DEFINITION

Practice of using another person's ideas or work and pretending that it is your own, not citing your sources (article, book, blog), recycling an assignment, copying, cheating, etc.

Sources

Plagiarism

The line between plagiarism and inspiration is sometimes blurred! It is the intention of the creative that acts as the limit.

To plagiarize means to copy a work in whole or in part and to take credit or authorship for it. As soon as the original author is not cited, it is plagiarism

inspiration

Being inspired is part of a natural creative process. Recovering ideas, concepts or existing works to observe the themes, the creative process or the ingredients allows us to appropriate our own ideas, to mix references and to define our own thinking. The goal is always to create a unique and original project.

DO NOT CONFUSE INSPIRATION WITH PLAGIARISM

A veteran screen writer filed a federal lawsuit accusing Disney of stealing his idea from ‘Total Recall’ for the hit animated film “Zootopia.”

A little clarification before continuing: Source = Where you find the information you use to create your assignment = someone else's work or one of your previous works. Citation / Short reference = short mention of a source inserted in your work = credit given to the creator. Bibliographical reference = Full description of the source and where to find it. Mediography = list of all your bibliographical references at the end of your work.

THE 3 GOLDEN RULES FOR CITING SOURCES

For example : “Seafood is the world’s single highest-traded food commodity.” (J. Kennedy, p.14, 2018)

When citing literally, put the quotation in "quotation marks" and mention the reference of the quoted text (at the end of the text in brackets or at the bottom of the page).                                                                                          The reference must include at least the author's name, the source page and/or the publication year.

HAVE YOU FOUND A BEAUTIFUL PHRASE AND WANT TO INCLUDE PART OR ALL OF IT IN YOUR WORK?

GOLDEN RULE #1

GOLDEN RULE #2

This rule also applies to the texts you translate.

When you paraphrase (explain an idea in your own words), do not use quotation marks, BUT mention the reference of the text used (at the end of the text in brackets, or at the bottom of the page).                                                                                           The procedure to follow is exactly the same as the one you use in Golden Rule #1: the author name and the page of the source cited and/or the publication year.

DID YOU FIND SOMETHING INTERESTING THAT YOU WOULD LIKE TO INCLUDE IN YOUR WORK BUT YOUR TEACHER ENCOURAGED YOU TO WRITE IN YOUR OWN WORDS?

GOLDEN RULE #3

For example : Arai, Noriko. "Can a robot pass a university entrance exam?" The Future You, TED 2017, 2017. https://www.ted.com/talks/noriko_arai_can_a_robot_pass_a_university_entrance_exam

Copyright rules apply not only to words, but also to video clips, sound bites and images found online or elsewhere.                                                                                          The rules to follow are almost the same as those used in Golden Rule #1: Name of the creator, title of the work, and date.

DO YOU WANT TO INTEGRATE AN IMAGE, A VIDEO, A SOUND EXTRACT, A DRAWING OR A PAINTING COPIED FROM A WEBSITE INTO YOUR WORK?

WRITING A MEDIOGRAPHY

Once you have cited your sources in your work, you still need to write down the complete bibliographic reference for each source you used and put it all together in a mediography. This should be:

Exhaustive: it contains all the references already mentioned in the text. It does not contain any reference that you have not cited. In alphabetical order of authors. Uniform: all the complete references are presented in the same way, with the information in the same order and punctuation.

The complete references that compose a mediography always contain the same information:

The author (who) - It can be a person or an organization The title (what) - With subtitle and edition number if applicable The publication (where) - City + publisher or URL Date (when) - Copyright date or date of last consultation

WRITING A MEDIOGRAPHY

There are several standard styles for presenting references. If your teacher does not indicate a particular style, you should refer to the Guide to Academic Writing in Omnivox.

START

I must answer four questions to ensure the integrity of my work

HOW TO ENSURE THE INTEGRITY OF YOUR WORK?

Have I recycled one of my papers or used someone else's paper?

Did I use an image, a drawing, a photo, a graphic, a video, music, etc?

Is the work free of rights?

Did I copy and paste?

Have I rephrased, in my own words, phrases or ideas found on the internet or in a book?

So I did paraphrase. Did I correctly quote my references?

TRY AGAIN

ERROR !

I have to make sure I produce original work myself.

Permission may be required! I am inquiring about the terms of use.

CONTINUE

WARNING !

I can use it depending on the terms of use.

CONTINUE

BEWARE !

I can do this by respecting methodological standards and by indicating my sources.

CONTINUE

CAUTION!

CONGRATULATIONS!

I can now hand over my work with integrity!

QUIT

Consequences for the plagiarist: If you are caught, you will be sanctioned and may be expelled from LaSalle College; if, by chance, you are not caught, what did you really learn?

Why YOU SHOULD not plagiarize (1/4)

Consequences for LaSalle College: The diplomas awarded may be discredited. In addition, in serious cases of plagiarism, the reputation of the college may be compromised.

WHY YOU SHOULD NOT PLAGIARIZE (2/4)

Consequences for the community as a whole: No one wants to fall into the hands of a professional plagiarist who cheated to get his/her diploma.

WHY YOU SHOULD NOT PLAGIARIZE (3/4)

By properly referencing sources, you reinforce your honesty, work ethic, and respect for those who have studied before you in your discipline. In essence, you show that you are reliable and trustworthy. ​

WHY YOU SHOULD NOT PLAGIARIZE (4/5)

Intellectual integrity is important because it represents you, your knowledge, your academic performance, your credibility and your trustworthiness.  Your work is your business card.

WHY YOU SHOULD NOT PLAGIARIZE (5/5)

At the College:

• A note on your academic record;
• A grade of zero for a given assignment;
• A grade of zero for an entire course;
• Expulsion from the College.

In professional life:

• Loss of credibility or the loss of employment;
• A lawsuit

Neglecting to credit the author of an original work is plagiarism. This can lead to:

SANCTIONS IN CASE OF PLAGIARISM

• Being the only one using my college student account;

• Doing the tests and exams by myself, without the help of others;

• Submitting only work that I have produced myself and that therefore does not contain any material that has been plagiarized, in whole or in part;

• Citing correctly my sources;

HOW TO AVOID SANCTIONS? (1/3)

Refraining from participating in dishonest activities in order to improve my results, such as:

• Offering, exchanging or receiving information during an exam;

• Using unauthorized resources during an exam;

• Obtaining answers from another person during an exam;

• Consulting unauthorized documents and resources during an exam;

HOW TO AVOID SANCTIONS? (2/3)

• Refraining from publicly disclosing the answers to questions asked in tests and exams for different courses;

• Refraining from reproducing or distributing LaSalle College materials in any manner whatsoever without express permission.

HOW TO AVOID SANCTIONS? (3/3)

START

You will be presented with some examples. Determine whether it is plagiarism or not.

QUIZ: IS IT PLAGIARISM ?

Including a complete mediography while failing to cite sources in my work is acceptable.

ERROR !

Whenever you use a quotation of which you are not the author, you must indicate the reference in your text and in the mediography.

Well done !

It is also necessary to insert the reference of your quotation in brackets in the format (author's name, date) inside your text.

Reading some sources, taking notes on them, and then writing out the ideas by citing the sources is acceptable.

Well done!

This is intellectual integrity!

ERROR!

It is a good habit to take notes on the sources consulted and then make the citation.

Submitting parts of an assignment that you have already submitted for another assignment without mentioning it is acceptable.

ERROR !

This is self-plagiarism. You should not plagiarize your own work submitted in another context. You must cite your own previous work.

Well done!

You should not reuse your own work or excerpts from it without citing your previous work and your teacher's permission.

Including some points of common knowledge in your text without citing the source is acceptable.

Well done!

When you write about general facts that are very well known, such as the boiling temperature of water, you do not need to cite the reference.

ERROR!

When you write about general facts that are very well known, such as the boiling temperature of water, you do not need to cite the reference.

Copying a few sentences from another author, changing every fourth word to a synonym, and citing the reference at the end is acceptable.

Well done!

Changing every four words is not an effective paraphrase and means that the text is too similar to the original.

ERROR !

This is a dangerous strategy. Changing every four words is not an effective paraphrase and means that the text is too similar to the original.

Using a photo in your work without mentioning the name of the photographer, but including the full reference in your mediography is acceptable.

Well done !

That's right! You must mention the name of the photographer in the body of your work.

ERROR !

The name of the photographer must be mentioned in the body of your work. He/She is the creator of the picture in the same way that an author is the creator of his/her text.

Selecting ideas from a source and using them to support a point that was not the original author's intent is acceptable.

Well done!

It is dishonest to change the author's point of view to support your argument.

ERROR !

It is dishonest to change the author's point of view to support your argument. It is a matter of respect for his/her work and intellectual integrity.

Composing a paragraph from several quotes, indicating the reference(s), and adding a few words of your own is acceptable.

Citation practices are correct here, but you are expected to formulate your own ideas and not simply present those of other authors.

CAUTION !

References cited in parentheses should include only the author's name and page number.

Well done!

This reference must include the author's name, the source page and/or the year of publication.

error !

This reference must include the author's name, the source page and/or the year of publication.

When using a table or a graph from the internet, inserting the URL and date of first consultation below the image is acceptable.

Well done!

That's right, when using a chart or a graph from the internet, you should follow Golden Rule #3 and include the creator's name, the title of the work and the year as a caption.

error !

When using a table or a graph from the internet, you should follow the Golden Rule #3 and include the creator's name, the title of the work and the year as a caption.

A media reference must contain at least the following elements: the name of the author, the name of the work, the date (of creation, of publication, of diffusion) and the location (publishing house, URL, etc)

You have to cite all the sources you use, even if it's a cat video you're using for humor.

Well done!

That's right, source citation doesn't just apply to words, it also applies to video clips, sound bites and images that you include in your work.

ERROR !

Citing sources doesn't just apply to words, it also applies to video clips, sound bites and images you include in your work.

The term "Authority" in the CRAAP acronym refers to reliability, truthfulness and accuracy.

Well done!

Right, Authority refers to the source of the information. Credibility refers to reliability, truthfulness and accuracy.

ERROR !

Authority refers to the source of the information. Credibility refers to reliability, truthfulness and accuracy.

If you find a work that is free of copyright, you do not have to cite your source.

Well done!

That's right, you must cite your sources! This is true even when you insert royalty-free images in your documents, such as those you might find on Shutterstock. If you quote a public domain text, or a work published under a Creative Commons license, the reference must also appear in your mediagraphy.
