Appendix 1 \u2013 Plagiarism<\/p>\n
It is important to understand what plagiarism is and how it can be avoided. The Joint
Council for Qualifications (JCQ) defines plagiarism as: \u201cUnacknowledged copying from
published sources (including the internet) or incomplete referencing\u201d. The following also
constitute plagiarism:
\u2022 Copying or amending sections of work from a friend\/colleague.
\u2022 Having a friend\/family member dictate something to you.
\u2022 Copying and pasting from the internet without citing the source.
\u2022 Copying or using directly from a study text quotation without citing the source.
\u2022 Paraphrasing without including reference to the source of the paraphrase.
\u2022 Working with another person, or using another person\u2019s work to write your assignment.
Within the text of your assignments you should use the following formats to attribute work
to its author(s).
Quotations
When using quotations from books, websites or journal articles you should cite the author
and the year of publication then use the quote in quotation marks, as below:
As Crystal (2006) points out: \u201cLearning vocabulary is always a matter of building up fields
of words.\u201d
If, however, you would like to use a longer example than your sentence allows, use the
author(s) name, year of publication, indent the quotation and place the page number of the
quotation, at the end:
As Crystal (2006) points out:
Learning vocabulary is always a matter of building up fields of words. And we do that by
comparing words with other words. That is how parents teach children. (Crystal, 2006, p29)
Paraphrasing (This does not apply to other candidates\u2019 work)
Paraphrasing is where you encapsulate another person\u2019s original idea, argument or
conclusion in your own words. It is still necessary to attribute those ideas to the author,
and you can do this by using the formatting outlined for direct quotations, taking care to
include the author\u2019s surname and the year of publication.
There are several methods you can adopt. Try them all a few times. You\u2019ll soon find out
which ones work best for you.
1. Read small sections of your notes or the text you are studying (say a paragraph at a
time). Cover your notes and then write the section in your own words.
2. For every sentence of text you want to paraphrase write two of your own. Remember
it often helps if you identify the main idea then give an example of your own and then
explain how your example fits with the main idea.
3. Take a small section (again say a paragraph). Write down the key words. Cover the
original and then use the key words to help you write a paragraph in your own words.
Don\u2019t change any technical words, numbers or mathematical or scientific formulae.
However feel free to change the everyday words to those of your own.
4. Remember to include a reference to the person who first wrote what you have
paraphrased.
If you can\u2019t paraphrase the source then you may need to think about putting the idea in as
a quotation.\u201d
