Plagiarism in Research projects


0

Plagiarism is the presentation of someone else’s ideas or words as your own. Whether deliberate or accidental plagiarism is a serious and punishable offense in research projects. Students found guilty of plagiarism get an F grade in research project or may be disqualified from a degree candidacy.

 

 

Deliberate or accidental plagiarism occurs when a writer draws words, phrases or passages from someone else’s work and presenting them verbatim as his/her own work without providing complete documentation or source citation.

 

 

 

Deliberate plagiarism may include:

 

  • Copying or downloading someone else’s work (a phrase, a sentence or a longer passage) and passing it off as your own without proper source citation.

 

  • Handing in as your own work, a paper you have bought, had a friend write, or copied from another student.

 

  • Summarizing, or paraphrasing someone else’s idea without acknowledgement in a source citation.

 

 

 

Accidental plagiarism may include:

 

  • Forgetting to place quotation marks around another writer’s words.

 

  • Omitting a source citation for someone else’s ideas without acknowledgement in a source citation.

 

To avoid plagiarism the researcher should always acknowledge other people’s ideas that are not common knowledge.
