More specific search terms • Expand your results? 1. Try new keywords or different combinations of keywords 2. Citation chasing 3. Multiple searches in multiple databases

21. • Supports your argument • Allows your readers to verify and identify your information • Gives credit to the creators of the ideas….avoids plagiarism • University Policy • Required for your assignment
23. • Books • Articles • Web Sites • Graphics • Videotapes, audio tapes • Software • Government documents & data Basically…. e.g., pictures from Web, statistical tables
24. Any source of information you did not create!
25. “I’VE HEARD THAT COMMON KNOWLEDGE DOESN’T HAVE TO BE CITED… WHAT IS COMMON KNOWLEDGE?” •Some examples: • “Waste not, want not.” • George Washington was the first president of the United States. • College students like pizza. •When in doubt, cite it!
26. Using someone else’s words (or pictures, music, data, etc..) or ideas without giving proper credit.
27. • We’re going to go through a few examples • For each example, vote: Is this an example of plagiarism? Yes or No http://bit.ly/isitplagiarism
28. Original Source: Trauma symptoms are probably adaptive, and originally evolved to help us recognize and avoid other dangerous situations quickly -- before it was too late. Sometimes these symptoms resolve within a few days or weeks of a disturbing experience: Not everyone who experiences a traumatic event will develop PTSD. It is when many symptoms persist for weeks or months, or when they are extreme, that professional help may be indicated. Student Paper: Trauma symptoms first evolved to help us avoid dangerous situations before it was too late. Sometimes these symptoms resolve within a few days or weeks, and not everyone who experiences a traumatic event will develop PTSD. It is when many symptoms persist or are extreme, that professional help may be indicated. _______________ Source included in References list. http://bit.ly/isitplagiarism

It is when many symptoms persist for weeks or months, or when they are extreme, that professional help may be indicated. Student Paper: Symptoms of trauma probably evolved to aid us in noticing dangerous situations rapidly and before it was too late. Usually, trauma symptoms resolve within a few days or weeks and PTSD is not present in everyone who experiences a traumatic event. Professional help is needed if symptoms persist for a long time or they are extreme (Baldwin, 2013). _______________ Source included in References list. http://bit.ly/isitplagiarism

32. • Borrowing an idea and putting it in your own words • Avoid “paraphrase plagiarism”-- where your paraphrase is too similar to original source • Shift + F7 ≠ your own writing • Remember to cite! A paraphrase must always be documented

It is when many symptoms persist for weeks or months, or when they are extreme, that professional help may be indicated. Student Paper: Exposure to trauma does not guarantee the development of PTSD; our reactions to dangerous situations are usually short-lasting and can been seen as biologically advantageous. However, people experiencing long-lasting or severe symptoms should be evaluated for PTSD. _______________ Source included in References list. http://bit.ly/isitplagiarism
34. • What are the ideas presented in the original source? • Student paper…what ideas does it present? • Do they match? • If so, is credit given in… • the works cited? • the text?
35. Original Source: Trauma symptoms are probably adaptive, and originally evolved to help us recognize and avoid other dangerous situations quickly -- before it was too late.

It is when many symptoms persist for weeks or months, or when they are extreme, that professional help may be indicated. Student Paper: Baldwin (2013) explains that although our reactions to traumatic events are biologically advantageous and usually go way quickly, “when many symptoms persist for weeks or months, or when they extreme…. professional help may be indicated” (para. 4). _______________ Source included in References list. http://bit.ly/isitplagiarism
36. • Document your sources and quote carefully • Note key ideas, then “Shut the book” • Try to boil down the information or summarize, making sure you understand what you’re reading • Proofread! • Learn to write and cite confidently

38. Different disciplines use different style manuals • Humanities = MLA Handbook for Writers of Research Papers (MLA) • Social Sciences = American Psychological Association (APA) http://apastyle.apa.org/ http://www.mla.org/store/CID24/PID363
39. 1. “ ” 2. In-text citation (Burrows, 2009, para. 5) OR (Burrows, 2009, p. 26) 3. An entry in the References list (the bibliography) at the end of the paper Every in-text citation should have a match in the bibliography
40. 1. Legitimate paraphrase 2. In-text citation (Burrows, 2009) 3. An entry in the References list at the end of the paper Again, every in-text citation should have a match in the bibliography!
41. Distance Education • Majority of colleges had at least some online classes in 2001 (Virtual school initiatives, 2005) • Teaching online classes time-consuming, requires special techniques (Bender, 2003) • “The greater the student satisfaction in a distance program, the more likely that program will be successful” (Martz & Shepherd, 2007, p. 50)
