Steps to success in referencing.
- Maybe you do not intend to plagiarize(抄袭).
- Plagiarism is:
- Using someone else’s words directly without accurately acknowledging their authorship.
- Using ideas from someone else’s work without accurately acknowledging（确认，承认） their source.
- Colluding（串通） with another student to produce the same or similar work.
- (4) Passing off(冒充) someone else’s original work as your own.
- Maybe you are unsure about unintentional plagiarism.
For example:
- Do not know Where did that perfect quote come from.
- Do not know if it was your own idea or someone else’s.
- Be confused about what need to be referenced in your assignment.
- Also, if you use references to replace your idea and pose to supporting your own thinking, you can be risk of poor academic practice. Poor academic practice is:
- Relies too heavily on one or two sources.
- Includes too many words from other people.
- Paraphrases too close to the original text.
- Plagiarism and poor practice have penalties.
- To avoid unintentional plagiarism:
- Read your feedback carefully. (You can ask your tutor or your study advisor for help)
- Develop good note-making practices.
- Find out when you need to use a citation(引用).
- Understand how to use references to support your discussion, not replace it.
- Summary:
You need to treat reference seriously, but if you have good study practices, such as accurate note-making, knowing why and when to reference, and following your referencing guide consistently, you have no worries about unintentional plagiarism.
