Plagiarism Guidelines

Guideline 1

Any part of your paper which contains the exact words of an author must appear in quotation marks, with the author’s name, and the date of publication and page number of the source attached.

Guideline 2

Material should not be adapted with only minor changes, such as combining sentences, omitting phrases, changing a few words, or inverting sentence order.

Guideline 3

If what you have to say is substantially your own words, but the facts or ideas are taken from a particular author, then omit the quotation marks and reference with a bracketed citation, such as (Jines,1949).

Guideline 4

Always acknowledge “secondary sources”.

Guideline 5

Every statement of fact, and every idea or opinion not your own must be referenced unless the item is part of common knowledge.

Guidelines 6

Do not hand in for credit a paper which is the same or similar to one you have handed in elsewhere.

Guideline 7

 It is permissible to ask someone to criticize a completed paper before you submit it, and to bring to your attention errors in logic, grammar, punctuation, spelling, and expression.  However, it is not permissible to have another person re-write any portion of your paper, or to have another person translate into English for you a paper which you have written in another language.
