Research Ethics
Plagiarism - “...the wrongful appropriation or purloining, and publication as one’s own, the ideas or the expression of the ideas (literary, artistic, musical, mechanical, etc.) of an other.” – see Heterick Help Page, Also Student Code of Conduct
Copyright - intended to promote the arts and the sciences. It does this by providing authors of original literary, dramatic, musical, artistic, and certain other intellectual works the ability to control how their work is used by others.

Research Ethics
In other words, to plagiarize is to to copy someone else’s work without giving him/her credit.
Plagiarism is not always intentional. You can do it by accident, but it is still against the law. If you ever have a question about whether something is plagiarized, please ask!

Research Ethics
Identify any information that would not be considered common knowledge
Unless in direct quotes, make sure you paraphrase what the original author said
Use a quote if you can’t think of a way to paraphrase the information
always, Always, ALWAYS cite the source of any information in your paper which is not considered common knowledge. If you are unsure if something is common knowledge, cite it!

Research Ethics
Things that are found in a number of places, and are likely to be known by a large number of people.
Examples:The sky is blueGrass is usually greenGeorge Washington was the 1st president of the United States
So what is common knowledge

Research Ethics
Main Entry: 1para·phrase 1 : a restatement of a text, passage, or work giving the meaning in another form
From Merriam-Webster’s Online Dictionary http://www.m-w.com
What does paraphrase mean?
12
Research Ethics
When you paraphrase something, it is different than putting it in your own words. When you put something in your own words, you are making a statement about the information you have found, rather than just restating the information. Usually there is an opinion of some sort in something “in your own words”
What does it mean to put something in my own words?

Research Ethics
A citation is how you indicate where your information came from. There are four citation styles that are in frequent use at the
college level. They are:• MLA (Modern Language Association)• APA (American Psychological Association)• CMS (Chicago Manual of Style)• Turabian (Kate Turabian's A Manual for Writers of Term Papers, Theses,
and Dissertations, 6th ed., 1996 ) Each style has a way to do in-text citations, a way to do a
bibliography, and a way to do footnotes and endnotes. Always confirm with each instructor the style required. You need to learn how to do citations, etc., but there is a citation
software management tool available to all ONU students, faculty and staff…

Definition: "A primary source is one that provides the writer with original, firsthand information." Writer's Encyclopedia 3rd ed., 317.
Definition: Secondary resources offer an analysis or a restatement of primary sources. They often attempt to describe or explain primary sources.
