Scholarly Misconduct |  | Seems to be a book or article title... |
|  |  | Plagiarism, whether intentional or accidental, is misrepresenting the work of others as your own. To guard against plagiarism, the student should find the sources of the unique phrases that she has recorded in her notes before using any of them in her dissertation. If she uses the work of others, either paraphrased or directly, without citing the source, then she is plagiarizing. When she was recording the work of others, the student should have clearly identified in her notes that she was using someone else’s words verbatim by using quotation marks, or that she was paraphrasing, and she should have clearly recorded the source next to the quoted or paraphrased words in her notes to facilitate accurate citation at a later time.
