| What is Plagiarism? |
| Plagiarism is the act
of claiming another person’s work or idea as your own. Some examples from
Duke University are given here to guide you in the process of properly
documenting your research. For specifics, consult the particular manual
that your instructor has assigned, such as the Modern Language
Association’s MLA Handbook for Writers of Research Papers.
According to the Center for Academic Integrity, an affiliate of the Kenan
Institute for Ethics at Duke University, academic integrity is “a
commitment, even in the face of adversity, to five fundamental values:
honesty, trust, fairness, respect and responsibility.” Prevent plagiarism
from occurring in your research paper by properly documenting the source
for all borrowed information. |
