3 Part One: Information to Get You Started Academic Honesty Standards The College is committed to academic integrity in all its practices. The faculty value intellectual integrity and a high standard of academic conduct. Activities that violate academic integrity undermine the quality and diminish the value of educational achievement. Cheating on papers, tests or other academic works is a violation of College rules. No student shall engage in behavior that, in the judgment of the instructor of the class, may be construed as cheating. This may include, but is not limited to plagiarism or other forms of academic dishonesty such as the acquisition without permission of tests or other academic materials and/or distribution of these materials and other academic work. This includes students who aid and abet, as well as those who attempt such behavior. Cases of student misconduct and/or lack of academic integrity are to be referred to the chief academic officer or chief student affairs officer. A student who violates the rules and regulations of the College may be subject to disciplinary actions which may include, but are not limited to the following: Verbal reprimand; Restitution for damages; Restriction of privileges; Failure of the assignment or course; Withdrawal from a course, program or the College for the remainder of the semester or term; Suspension from the College (one calendar year); Dismissal from the College (five years; student may appeal for reinstatement). Plagiarism Source: Student Handbook: Southwest Indiana The defines plagiarism as using another person s ideas, information or expressions without acknowledging that person s work (Gibaldi 66). similarly states that an author does not present the work of another as if it were his or her own work (Publication Manual, 2001, p.349). Does not need to be cited: Common knowledge Well-known quotations or proverbs Your own ideas and discoveries Needs to be cited: Direct quotations Paraphrases or summaries Another person s ideas and discoveries Statistics, charts, tables, and graphs Gibaldi, Joseph. Handbook for Writers of Research Papers. New York: Modern Language Association of America, Publication Manual of the American Psychological Association, 5th Ed. Washington, DC: American Psychological Association, Plagiarism is a type of cheating. You may receive help writing your paper; however, it cannot be written for you. Purchasing a research paper or having any other person write a paper for you is plagiarism. As a student of Ivy Tech College, plagiarism is a serious offense. The penalty could be the failure of that assignment, the failure of the course, or the suspension from college. Further explanation of your rights and responsibilities can be found on pages of the Ivy Tech Student Handbook. Ivy Tech State College Region 12 Ivy Tech Citation Handbook Page 3

7 You are to cite the sources you use in your paper, according to the style and format assigned by your instructor. The following pages of this guide provide some examples of in-text and works cited or reference citations, but they are examples only, and do not (or cannot) represent all of the situations you may encounter when citing your sources. Use these basic citation forms and examine the citation examples that follow. Consult the following sources for more complete information and examples: style: Gibaldi, Joseph. Handbook for Writers of Research Papers. 6th ed. New York: Modern Language Association, Formatting and Style Guide. Purdue University Online Writing Lab July 2006 < style: American Psychological Association. (2001). Publication manual of the American Psychological Association. 5th ed. Washington, DC: American Psychological Association. Gelfand, H., & Walker, C. J. (2002). Mastering style: Student s workbook and training guide. 2nd ed. Washington, DC: American Psychological Association. Purdue University Online Writing Lab. (2006). formatting and style guide. Retrieved July 20, 2006 from General Notes: Whether you underline or italicize titles of books and journals, be consistent within the same assignment. The Modern Language Association prefers students use underlining; thus, all examples in this guide use underlining. examples, however, are italicized. The citation examples in this guide demonstrate hanging indention. The first line of each entry is flush to the left-hand margin, but each subsequent line in the entry is indented five character spaces (one half inch). In general, double spacing is required throughout the document, but check with your instructor. If a source does not provide a particular piece of information (i.e., no author s name is listed), skip it and move to the next part of the citation. Remember that you cite sources to give credit to their authors and to provide your readers with enough information to locate that source for further consideration. Ivy Tech State College Region 12 Ivy Tech Citation Handbook Page 7

8 In-Text Citation Format : If the author is named in the signal phrase, only a page reference (if available) is needed for in-text citations: According to Fortune editor Andy Serwer, The rate of oil discovery worldwide has been in decline for decades (67). If the author is unnamed in the sentence, provide the name and page number at the end: One Fortune editor claims, The rate of oil discovery worldwide has been in decline for decades (Serwer 67). : If the author is named in the signal phrase, include the year of publication in parentheses and a page reference at the end to refer to a specific passage: According to Serwer (2004), a Fortune editor, The rate of oil discovery worldwide has been in decline for decades (p. 67). If the author is unnamed in the sentence, provide the name, date and page number at the end: One Fortune editor claims, The rate of oil discovery worldwide has been in decline for decades (Serwer, 2004, p. 67). In this manual, the or in-text citations follow paraphrased passages or quotations in which the author is unnamed. Ivy Tech State College Region 12 Ivy Tech Citation Handbook Page 8

9 Basic Works Cited and Reference Page Formats: Use these examples as a guide. If your source does not list a particular piece of information, skip it and move on to the next piece of your citation. Please note that the entry examples in this handbook are single spaced; however, in an essay they should actually be double spaced. CAUTION: Before assuming that a Web source has no author, do some detective work. Often the author's name is available but may be hard to find. For example, it may appear at the end of the source, in tiny print, or it may appear on another page of the site, such as the home page. You may omit the page number if a work lacks page numbers, as is the case with many Web sources. Although printouts from Web sites usually show page numbers, printers don't always provide the same page breaks; for this reason, recommends treating such sources as unpaginated. When the pages of a Web source are stable (as in PDF files), however, supply a page number in your in-text citation. If a Web source uses paragraph or section numbers, give the abbreviation "par." or "sec." in the parentheses: (Smith, par. 4). Basic Format for Print Sources : Author s Last Name, First name. Title. City: Publisher, Date. : Author s Last Name, First Initial. (Year). Title. City: Publisher.

For in-text citations, use the original page numbers, the page numbers on the computer print-outs, or the paragraph number. Check with your instructor.
