MECHANISM FOR DETECTING PLAGIARISM.
Plagiarism is the use without proper attribution of someone else’s words, ideas or other work as if it were one’s own. Failure to properly indicate and acknowledge the work of others can lead a reader, listener or viewer to think that information, research, ideas, words, images, data, artistic and creative elements, or other work are the student’s own efforts, when they are not. Plagiarism significantly departs from accepted standards in the academic community and misleads others into thinking the work is the student’s own.
Misuse of sources, like plagiarism, reflects failure to properly credit the work of others but involves errors, mistakes, incomplete, or inadequate attempts and other errors in citation, quotation, and attribution that would not seriously mislead others into thinking the work is the student’s own.
Plagiarism and misuse of sources carry different consequences as described by authorities time to time.
The responsibility to give credit for material that would not qualify as common knowledge applies to almost all types of assignments and situations, not just papers, and not only to final work but also submitted drafts. Work in which students must acknowledge sources and the contributions of others includes but is not limited to draft and final versions of the following:
- talks and other oral presentations
- visual aids, presentation slides, or other media tools
- websites, Web pages, webcasts, and other multimedia work
- artistic, musical, and other creative work
- lab reports
- problem sets
- thesis chapters,
- research papers,
- proposals,
- literature reviews,
- abstracts,
- annotated bibliographies, etc.
