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 quoted text that she has recorded in her notes before using any of
the quoted text in her dissertation. If she uses the work of others (denoted
by the quotation marks in her notes), either paraphrased or verbatim, 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. |
