The Original Material
The association between humans and dogs began as a hunting relationship
before organized agriculture had been developed. This Paleolithic cave painting
dates back to about ten thousand years ago and shows a Stone Age hunter who
has successfully killed an eland with the assistance of his dogs.

The Intelligence of Dogs:
Canine Consciousness
and Capabilities
by Stanley Coren.
MacMillan, 1994
Here's a paragraph in
which the
student plagiarizes by
direct copying from
Coren's text.
Plagiarism by Direct CopyingDogs have been "man's best friend" since long before recorded history. The
association between humans and dogs began as a hunting relationship before
organized agriculture had been developed. One Paleolithic cave painting dates back
to about ten thousand years ago and shows a Stone Age hunter who has
successfully killed an eland with the assistance of his dogs.
The student has
typed in Coren's
words exactly in
the first copied
sentence and
altered only one
word in the
second.
Here's a paragraph in
which the student
identifies Coren in a
signal phrase,
acknowledges
Coren's work, and
goes on with her
own presentation of
Coren's material.
Revision 1: No Plagiarism--Correctly Paraphrased!Some experts think that dogs have been companions for humans at least since
our earliest records. University of British Columbia Professor of Psychology
Stanley Coren suggests that humans and dogs first got together as hunters. In his
book The Intelligence of Dogs: Canine Consciousness and Capabilities ,Coren
includes a cave painting from about ten thousand years ago that pictures a
hunter with two dogs and an eland they have killed (Page 150).
In the in-text
parenthetical citation,
the student provides
the page number. Her
reference page will
include bibliographic
information for
Coren's book.
The main difference between this correctly paraphrased passage and the paraphrased theft-of-ideas above is that here the
student has introduced the author and provided the location for the specific information. She is giving Coren credit for his work,
not presenting his ideas as her own. Notice that the student has also removed the phrase "man's best friend" and the quotation
marks that suggest she is quoting them from Coren. She provides a citation even though she does not use directly quoted
material--the main idea as well as the contents and interpretation of the painting are part of Coren's work and research, not the
student's, so she must acknowledge them.
Here's a paragraph in
which the student
identifies Coren in asignal phrase,
acknowledges Coren's
work, goes on with
her own presentation
of Coren's material,
and includes a quote.
Revision2: No Plagiarism--Correctly Quoted!
Some experts think that dogs have been companions for humans at least since ourearliest records. According to University of British Columbia Professor of Psychology
Stanley Coren, dogs and humans first teamed up as hunters. In his book The
Intelligence of Dogs: Canine Consciousness and Capabilities,Coren includes one cave
painting that dates back about ten thousand years and shows "a Stone Age hunter
who has successfully killed an eland with the assistance of his dogs" (Plate 2).
The quoted
material
provides Coren's
own phrasing
and her own
words.
