Sources of Information
Nov 2013
Objectives of the Workshop
By the end of the workshop, you will be able to:
•Define what plagiarism is and identify ways to
prevent plagiarism
•Recognize how to document sources properly in
APA format
2
What is Plagiarism?
• Plagiarism is “the action or practice of taking someone else's work, idea, etc.,
and passing it off as one's own; literary theft.”
– Oxford English Dictionary
• Plagiarism is not only mere copying of text; it also refers to using another's
ideas as one's own, regardless of the specific words or constructs used to
express that idea
• You will commit plagiarism if fail to include quotations or acknowledge the
sources in your paper
• Articles increasingly available as electronic text in Internet, has made the
physical act of copying the work of others much easier, imply increasing risk
of plagiarism

Examples of Plagiarism
Word-to-word Copy
•
Original

Your Text:
Plagiarized!
The concept of identity construction is crucial in second language learning.
English learning at the tertiary level is both a process of acquiring language skills,
and a process of understanding who the learners are and how they are related to
the learning community, the national sociocultural context and the imagined
global community.

Examples of Plagiarism
Using other’s words and ideas without acknowledgment
•
Original
• Your Text:
Plagiarized!
The concept of identity construction is crucial in second language
learning. Post-secondary level English learning not only represents a
process of acquiring language skills, but also helps the learners to
understand own identities and their relationship with the learning
community.
5
More about Plagiarism
• Is it plagiarism if I just copy a few words from other’s work?
Yes. The quantity of words being copied is not the main concern. The
important point is that you have copied other’s work and made no
acknowledgement.
• Is it an act of plagiarism if I copy from an unpublished work?
Yes. It doesn't matter whether the work which is copied has been published
or not. The key point is that it was copied from someone else without
making acknowledgement.
6
More about Plagiarism
• What is the result if you found commit plagiarism?
In academic community, plagiarism is considered unethical and dishonest.
For more details about HKIEd, please refer to “Chapter 8 Academic
Honesty and Copyright” of Student Handbook 2013/14:
“Any alleged cases of academic misconduct will be handled by the
Head of the academic department concerned who shall then establish
an investigation committee to conduct a thorough investigation if a
a prima facie case for plagiarism exists … ”
http://www.ied.edu.hk/reg/student_handbook/text_en8.html
• Is plagiarism the same as copyright infringement?
They are closely related but not exactly the same. Plagiarism is an act of
academic dishonesty while copyright infringement is legal offence.

How to Avoid Plagiarism?
•
Use Quotations to show clearly the extent of other’s work
1. Direct quotation
When discussing potential problems in building collaborative digital resources, Straw warned
that:
Preservation and security concerns will also arise in putting together digital partnerships.
Proper professional handling of archival, original, fragile, unique, and sometimes rare
items during the digitization process should be taken seriously. (Straw, 2009, p.109)
2. Quoting short part of sentence
When discussing potential problems in building collaborative digital resources, Straw pointed
out the critical issues of “preservation and security concerns”. Safe handling of materials during
digitization must be assured among digital partners. (Straw, 2009)
•
Paraphrasing (re-writing in your own words)
•
Cite & list your sources
9
Citing References
• Allows you to use other people’s work by giving credit to the original
author without plagiarizing
• Provides documentation for all facts and figures that are not common
knowledge
• Strengthens your work by lending outside support to your arguments
• Provides the source information for others who wants to find out more
about your ideas
• Accurately prepared references help establish your credibility as a
careful researcher
• Out of order/incomplete citations cause inaccurate citation network
indexing
10
What’s the difference between
reference list and bibliography?
A reference list consists of all sources cited in the text of a paper,
listed alphabetically by author’s surname.
A bibliography may include resources that were consulted but
not cited in the text as well as an annotated description of each
one.
Bibliographies may be organized chronologically, or by subject,
rather than alphabetically.

Citing Works by One Author
Two common formats to reference citations in text:
• Citation is integrated into the text:
“If the name of the author appears as part of the narrative…cite
only the year of publication in parentheses” (APA, 2010, p.174).
Salvia (2007) considered inclusive education as…
• Citation is placed in parentheses:
If the author’s name is not included in the narrative, cite “both the
name and the year separated by a comma, in parentheses” (APA,
2010, p.174).
In a recent study of inclusive education (Salvia, 2007)…
19
Citing Works by Multiple Authors
• 2 Authors
Cite both authors every time
Smith and Johnson (1998) found that the system …
The findings confirmed with previous study (Smith & Johnson, 1998)
• 3-5 Authors
First citation:
Cheung, Li, Searle, Chan, and Frazer (1996) reviewed the theory of …
Subsequent citations:
Cheung et al. (1996) further developed a measuring system …
• 6 or more Authors
Use et al. (not italicized) for the first and subsequent citations
Kohn et al. (2007) suggested the possible causes …
20
Writing Style
 DO NOT use periods with web addresses in text or in the reference list
 In text: include URL in parentheses, avoid ending a sentence with a URL
Example:
The APA (http://www.apa.org) has updated the rules of publication style in July
2009, with expanded discussions on ethics …

file]. Retrieved from http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UT2BGE_XyIY
21
Page Numbers
• When paraphrasing, APA style does not require page numbers in
the in-text citation.
• According to Section 6.03 of Publication Manual of the American
Psychological Association, 6th edition, for direct quotation of
sources, you have to provide the author, year, and specific page
citation or paragraph number for nonpaginated material
respectively in the text.
• Example
This idea was recently explored by Palladino and Wade (2010).
They noted that "a flexible mind is a healthy mind" (Palladino &
Wade, 2010, p. 147).
http://blog.apastyle.org/apastyle/2010/03/how-to-cite-directquotations.html
22
Direct Quotation
• Quotations fewer than 40 words - quotation is integrated into the
text with double quotation marks.
• Quotations more than 40 words 1. Display it in a freestanding block of text and omit the quotation
marks
2. At the end of a block quotation, cite the quoted source and the
page or paragraph number in parentheses after the final
punctuation mark
3. Indent the block about a half inch from the left margin (in the
same position as a new paragraph)
http://blog.apastyle.org/apastyle/2013/06/block-quotations-inapa-style.html
23
Footnotes
• When using APA style, you need not use footnotes at the bottom
of the page or at the end of your paper for reference citation.
• According to Section 2.12 of Publication Manual of the American
Psychological Association, 6th edition, use of footnotes serve two
functions:
1. To provide additional content;
2. To acknowledge copyright permission status.
