PlAGIARISM
Plagiarism
Plagiarism is the presentation of someone else’s words or ideas as one’s own (See APA Publication
Manual, 6th ed., pp.15-16). One of the most common forms of plagiarism is the paraphrasing of several
phrases, sentences of ideas in a paragraph with only one citation at the end of the paragraph, resulting in
confusion between the cited content and the researcher’s own words or ideas. Another common form is the
practice of substituting words or phrases while retaining the original author’s for and structure.
Plagiarism in any form is one of the most egregious violations of professional ethics an author can commit.
Submission of plagiarized material, even by accident or ignorance, is a severe infraction of the professional
ethical code and can result in expulsion from the program. To avoid plagiarism:


Cite sources within the text for all phrases or ideas that are quoted or paraphrased.
Cite sources within the text in the format delineated in the APA Manual, pp. 174-179.
Certification of Authorship. I certify that I am the author of this paper titled ________________ and that
any assistance I received in its preparation is fully acknowledged and disclosed in the paper. I have also
cited any sources from which I used data, ideas, or words, either quoted directly or paraphrased. I also
certify that this paper was prepared by me specifically for this course. I understand that falsification of
information will affect my status as a graduate student.
