  24. What Is Plagiarism? • Plagiarism is using another person's ideas or words without acknowledging the fact that those ideas/words came from someone else. Whether intentional or accidental, it is a serious academic crime.

  25. What Is Plagiarism? • “Plagiarism is using another person's ideas or words without acknowledging the fact that those ideas/words came from someone else. Whether intentional or accidental, it is a serious academic crime.’’[1] • [1] Lincoln University, ‘Avoiding Plagiarism’ • URL: http://www.lincoln.edu/mhs/owl/plagiarism.html

  26. What Is Plagiarism? • Citation is required whenever you • quote someone else's words directly, or • refer to someone else's ideas even paraphrased

  27. Plagiarism(pp. 18-19) • Punishment is severe! • ※ Suspension • ※ Cancellation of All Credits • To avoid troubles… • See “RESEARCH ETHICS” (PP. 64-71, STUDY GUIDE for STUDENTS 2019)

  28. Example 1 (p. 67) • Your text: • This statistical association between income and democracy is the cornerstone of the influential modernization theory. Democracy was both created and consolidated by a broad process of modernization which involved changes in the factors of industrialization, urbanization, wealth, and education [which] are so closely interrelated as to form one common factor. And the factors subsumed under economic development carry with it the political correlate of democracy. • Neither quotation marks nor explanatory comments are given.

  29. Example 1 (p. 67) • Proper text: • This statistical association between income and democracy is the cornerstone of the influential modernization theory. Lipset (1959) suggested that democracy was both created and consolidated by a broad process of modernization which involved changes in “the factors of industrialization, urbanization, wealth, and education [which] are so closely interrelated as to form one common factor. And the factors subsumed under economic development carry with it the political correlate of democracy’’. • References • Lipset, Seymour M. 1959. “Some Social Requisites of Democracy: Economic Development and Political Legitimacy.” American Political Science Review, 53(1): 69-105

  30. Example 2 (p. 67) • Original text: • The factors of industrialization, urbanization, wealth, and education [which] are so closely interrelated as to form one common factor. And the factors subsumed under economic development carry with it the political correlate of democracy. • Your text: • The factors of industrialization, urbanization, wealth, and education [which] are so closely related to each other so that they form one common factor. And the factors involved with economic development carry with it the political correlate of democracy. • Quotation marks are not necessary. • But explanatory comments are needed.

  31. Commonly used excuses (p. 68) • It’s a coincidence! • I did it carelessly rather than on purpose. • An explanatory note is not necessary because I have the same opinion. • I did not know. I did not understand. • These claims are unacceptable

  32. The following materials are all to be listed in the references: • Articles, Books, Blogs, Wikipedia, Movies, Newspapers, Magazines, Pictures, Illustration, PC program, Whatever written or made by someone else

  33. ‘‘Indicate clearly if you have written down a quotation directly in the author's words or if you are paraphrasing. ’’[2] • [2] Lincoln University, ‘Avoiding Plagiarism’ • URL: http://www.lincoln.edu/mhs/owl/plagiarism.html

  34. Other examples… • Copied his/her friend’s paper (both punished) • Submit one paper to two classes • (Self-Plagiarism, see P. 19) • Used pictorial illustration without citation
