Why is it important to properly cite quoted and summarized information in your assignments?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Properly citing quoted and summarized information in your assignments is important for several reasons. Firstly, it shows respect for the original creator's work and intellectual property rights. Secondly, it gives credibility and validity to your own work by acknowledging your sources and showing that you have done thorough research. Finally, it allows readers to locate and verify the information you have used, promoting transparency and avoiding plagiarism.

The best way to avoid plagiarism is not to plagiarize. It is probably easier than it ever was to uncover plagiarism. There are ways to use web material in papers, but it may still be best to use standard form and make references to library-available material if humanly possible, unless your teachers advocate and teach methods in the use of web references. It is not that hard-journal material is any less vulnerable to inaccuracy, but that a paper trail is perhaps easier to follow to its true source than the electron trail.

How does conducting academic research differ from general research?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Research in education is a systematic process that uses actual methods to resolve a problem.

General Research

It is a well-defined and scientific process with the goal of gathering together information from solving a problem.

  1. General research identifies potential and new customers.

  2. It understands the existing customers.

  3. It develops effective market strategies.

  4. It identifies new business opportunities.

Educational research

It consists in providing solutions to different problems and improving teaching and learning practices.

Educational research is basically categorized into 3 parts:

  1. Descriptive Research: It is a study designed to describe a population or an environment. It focuses on answering how, what, when, and where rather than why.

  2. Correlational Research: It is a non-experimental method of measuring two variables and understanding their relationship statistically.

  3. Experimental Research : An experiment was conducted using two sets of variables in a scientific manner.

Well, I hope this will help you to understand both types of research. or you can consult with professionals which already working in research specialities such as Silver Lake consultancy, SPSS-Tutor, etc. They will surely help you out .

How can students avoid plagiarism?

Asked by Wiki User

The best way to avoid plagiarism is to keep careful track of the articles you read and use in your research. Even when you paraphrase, if you use someone else's ideas, you should include where you got the idea as one of your sources. Also, make sure you use quotation marks correctly when you are quoting something, so that anyone can tell which words in a written document are yours and which are ones where you are quoting someone else.

Usually, serious plagiarism where you can get into trouble is more deliberate, as when people copy and paste things directly without giving credit, but stealing ideas is also a form of plagiarism, so it is always better to list all the books or websites you read when developing an idea for your paper.

You can avoid plagiarism but asking the person who you want to take the information from or if you cannot reach them or if they have past away ask their families. If their family says no or you cannot reach their families you cannot use the information or text.

More ideas....

You can also avoid plagiarism by checking your work with already uploaded work on different websites through various plagiarism checker tools, one of those plagiarism checker tool, free for use can be found at duplichecker.com

Note: The above relates only to the issue of copyright violation. If a source is not copyright, unacknowledged copying or use of information is still plagiarism - and is unethical.

Develop the ability to evaluate and synthesize information from a wide range of different sources and express your findings in your own words with due acknowledgment of all sources.

A citation is a specific source that you mention in the body of your paper. The format may change depending on the style of use.

A reference is a list of the sources that are cited. The reference is listed at the end of the paper.

What can you do to keep from plagiarizing?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

How do you know if you plagiarized someone's work? Or how do you know if you have committed plagiarism? The easiest way to find out if you plagiarized a work is to put the original words side by side with what you wrote yourself. How many of the words are truly YOURS? How many of your words just repeat what the other person wrote?

Your writing should be:

  • your own original thoughts
  • held together with well-thought-out points (ingredients)
  • seasoned with short points that others made
  • peppered with a quoted definition, here and there
  • carefully combined, tossed, mixed, until it holds together well (like making a meal)
  • presented with correct grammar and punctuation
  • served with some level of your interest or passion
  • consumed (read) by an audience who ends up interested, entertained, educated (filled up) by what YOU have written

Your writing should NOT:

  • simply repeat what someone else said
  • repeat what someone else thinks/thought
  • paraphrase in such a way that makes it too similar to the original
  • take (lift) sentences or paragraphs from something someone else wrote
  • use someone else's work without crediting that person
  • be dishonest in any way

What punishments are there for plagiarism?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

(Directly from an article)

""In an academic context, it's really about shame," says Corynne McSherry, an intellectual property attorney in San Francisco and author of "Who Owns Academic Work? Battling for Control of Intellectual Property." "You might be kicked out of your department, or if you're a student, you might get a failing grade. With copyright, you could be taken to court and have to pay damages.""

"Though plagiarism is not itself a legal offense, many aspects of the act can be construed as copyright infringement, says Glynn Lunney, a law professor at Tulane University. Because anything written is automatically protected by the Copyright Act of 1976, copiers can always be liable for the harm suffered by a person whose work was copied, he says. If an author has a registered copyright, copiers can be liable for legal fees and damages, which range from $750 to $30,000 per work copied. Those fines can rise to $150,000 if the copying is particularly egregious and willfully done."

(My own conclusions)

Summary:

-guilt

-fines/fees for 'copyright infringement'

-suspension

-expulsion

-failing grade in the course

(the last three depend on the school)

How to recognize plagiarism?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Now a day’s many AI tools such as (Helioblast) and (Ithenticate) are rising in the market with which you can check plagiarism in your work some of the tools are free while for some you have to pay some amount. The only problem with AI tools is that they are not 100% accurate. So in my suggestion, you should use dissertation services for getting your plagiarism checked. Some sites where experts check your dissertations are HomeofDissertations and ResearchmyAssignment.

Is copying and pasting direct linking or illegal?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Copying and pasting from other peoples documents is like plagiarism.

plagiarism

n 1: a piece of writing that has been copied from someone else and is presented as being your own work 2: the act of plagiarizing; taking someone's words or ideas as if they were your own [syn: plagiarization, plagiarisation, piracy]

If you refer to where you obtained the information and do not claim it to be your own, it would not be illegal.

Cross refrences are what the internet is based on.

What are the pros and cons or plagiarism?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Plagiarism is the copying of someone's work that is not your own, and claiming that you wrote it. Plagiarism is an academic offense, but it not itself illegal.

The consequences for plagiarism can be different depending on the circumstances. If you are in school, the teacher would usually fail your paper, while in the Academy of Sciences, you could be expelled from the academy.

How do you tell if a paper has been plagiarized?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Academics have specialist search tools to check for plagarism, but us normal folks just plug a few words onto a good web search engine and see if any hits are registered.

Companies that sell essays to cheating students do usually publish a small sample of the essay as a 'taster' for customers but the bulk of it is not available to search engines, so you'll not find hits in that manner.

What are four things that can be plagiarized?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Plagiarism/plagiarize is STEALING and PASSING OFF AS ONES OWN the words/thoughts/ideas of another. That is why we have copyright laws. If one chooses to plagiarize it would seem very wise for him to first think it through and give credit where credit is due, or obtain written approval from the author....and avoid possible legal ramifications. It's like that old saying, "Oh! what tangled webs we weave when others we would deceive."
