Reference Guidelines for C.H.E.K InstituteCertif ication Students and GraduatesI. PermissiontoUseMaterial Written permission mustbe obtained from tHE C.H.E.K InstItutE before any Program Material, in-

cluding, but not limited to any course material, manuals, books, videos, articles written by Paul Chek or produced by tHE C.H.E.K InstItutE may be used or produced for your individual use or monetary gain.

II.RequestforPermission Attachment F is the “RequestforPermissiontoReprint” form to be used in order to obtain permission to

reprint any material from the C.H.E.K Institute or Paul Chek. Attachment G is the “RequestforPermissiontoUseMaterialinaPresentation” form to be used in order to obtain permission to use any material from tHE C.H.E.K InstItutE, or Paul Chek in a presentation that you wish to give, whether live, broadcast or recorded on type of media. Absent written authorization by Paul Chek or tHE C.H.E.K InstItutE permission is not authorized.

II.RightofPublicityA. Jonathan Kirsch states, “As a general proposition, the use of a name or likeness of an individual in a

work that touches upon a matter of public interest or public concern is unlikely to be a violation of the right of publicity. thus, for example, it is permissible (and commonplace) to write an “unauthorized” biography of a public figure without violating his right of publicity—but it probably is a violation to falsely claim, whether openly or by implication, that the public figure has endorsed the book” (Ref. 2 p.161).

B. In simple words, you may not make any implications that Paul Chek has endorsed your work with writ-

ten “authorization” from tHE C.H.E.K InstItutE or Paul Chek. Authorization means you have express written permission to use the specific material requested.

IV.DocumentingSources to quote Joseph Gibaldi, “You must document everything that you borrow – not only direct quotations

and paraphrases but also information and ideas”. He also states that, “you must indicate the source of any appropriate material that readers might otherwise mistake for your own. If you have any doubt about whether or not you are committing plagiarism, cite your course or sources” (Ref. p.129). (see citation below.)


15



V. Plagiarism the word plagiarism comes from the Latin word plagiarius, that is kidnapper. Joseph Gibaldi suggests

that “plagiarism refers to a form of cheating that has been defined as “the false assumption of author-ship: 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” (Ref. 1 p.26).

VI.Copyright/Author’sIdeaA. When any documentation includes a copyright notice, (© immediately followed by the name of the

copyright owner and date of publication), you must properly reference that piece of work. Failure to do so may lead to penalties for act of infringement.

B. Was the author’s idea new, original and concrete? the “Poor Man’s Copyright” states that if there is proof that the author was in possession of written

materials on a specific date the author may be able to pursue a lawsuit against the guilty party.
