Academic Integrity and Plagiarism

The core principles of academic integrity honesty, trust, fairness, respect and

responsibility should be in the forefront for all you do as a student. Please be reminded

of CSUSB policies with respect to academic integrity. Each student should be aware

of the CSUSB’s policy regarding Cheating and Plagiarism. CSUSB’s Academic Policy

will be strictly enforced. Violations of academic integrity are considered to be very

serious and will be investigated in accordance with university policy. Violators are

subject to expulsion from the University as outlined in the General Regulations and

Procedures section of the CSUSB Bulletin of Courses. Plagiarism will result in a zero

mark.

Plagiarism involves the improper use of material in essays or other assignments. It can

occur through carelessness and negligence when a student is preparing an essay or as

a result of intentional deceit. In either case, the penalties for plagiarism are severe.

Please note that academic dishonesty includes such practices as submitting the same

piece of work in more than one course without the permission of the instructor(s) and

the buying or selling of term papers or assignments and submitting them as ones

own.

Fortunately, it is a relatively simple matter to learn the procedures for providing

proper references to the material used in essays, thereby avoiding plagiarism. The

central point is:

A student should always identify the sources of ideas, words, and phrases that come

from someone else.

The aim here is not to discourage students from incorporating the concepts of other

people into their own thinking, but to make it clear to the reader from whence this

material has come. Generally, it is better to over-identify than to under-identify

sources.

Direct Quotations

All phrases or passages of whatever length taken directly (i.e. word for word) from

anothers writing must be enclosed in quotation marks and immediately identified

with a footnote or endnote. Unless it is clear that quotations closely interspersed in the

text are all taken from the same source and the same page, it is necessary to indicate

the source of each with a note.

The listing of a source in a bibliography at the end of the paper does not constitute an

acceptable citation of the source with respect to the identification of quotations and

paraphrases. Even when you make minor modifications to the wording of a quotation

(see below), you are still obliged to acknowledge the source properly in a note.

Minor Modifications to Quotations

If you wish to introduce minor changes in the wording of a quotation (for example, in

order to insert your own observation or to render the quotation grammatical within the

context of the surrounding material), such changes always should be enclosed in

square brackets. If you wish to omit some material from the quotation, use ellipsis

marks (three dots).

Paraphrases and Ideas

When you substantially reproduce the form and combination of ideas taken from

another source (even though you do not repeat the exact words as they were originally

expressed), this is called paraphrasing. In other words, you paraphrase when you take

an idea from a particular source and put it in your own words. The source of each

paraphrase must be identified in a note.

Taking Notes

In order to avoid plagiarism, you need to take notes carefully when doing research for

an essay. As you take notes, you should be careful to identify the three major kinds of

material being collected: direct quotations, paraphrases, and your own ideas.

Uncontested and well-known factual information, such as dates, office-holders, and

place-names, may be presented without specific acknowledgement. In order to

distinguish between paraphrases and your own ideas, it is helpful to put your own

comments in square brackets in your research notes. Always put direct quotations in

quotation marks in your research notes in order to avoid confusion. When taking

notes, be sure to record the exact book, article, paper, or Web location and page

references for both quotations and paraphrases.
