Chatzimarkakis breached university policy by failing to quote direct passages of other works appropriately; instead of using quotation marks to show that the passage was not written by Chatzimarkakis, he simply used a footnote at the end of the text referring to the work it came from. "Such a practice gives the impression that it is Chatzimarkakis who is speaking, while in reality texts of other authors are being reproduced." http://www.guardian.co.uk/world/2011/jul/14/plagiarism-row-jorgochatzimarkakis-germany http://www.dw-world.de/dw/article/0,,15232002,00.html
What to avoid (1) Verbatim quotation without clear acknowledgement Quotations must always be identified Paraphrasing Can be misleading (even with a citation) Cutting and pasting from the Internet Information derived from the Internet must be adequately referenced Collusion Can include unauthorised collaboration between students, failure to attribute assistance received. Oxford Students website www.ox.ac.uk/students/academic/guidance/skills
What to avoid (2) Inaccurate citation It is important to cite correctly, according to the conventions of your discipline. Professional agencies You should neither make use of professional agencies in the production of your work nor submit material which has been written for you. Auto-plagiarism You must not submit work for assessment which you have already submitted to fulfil the requirements of another degree course or examination. Oxford Students website www.ox.ac.uk/students/academic/guidance/skills
Plagiarism Exercise
Turnitin Integrated with WebLearn Assignments tool Used to find text matches between students submitted work and existing electronic sources, including other student assignments. An Originality Report is produced for each submission, and an overall score (the similarity index) is assigned. http://help.it.ox.ac.uk/ltg/teachingwithtechnology/plagiarism

Reference Management
Referencing styles Harvard Author-date system Use for broader social science approaches Includes some, but not all legal citations (e.g. international treaties) OSCOLA (Oxford Standard for Citation Of Legal Authorities) Footnote system Use for legal essays Citation of authorities, legislation, and other legal documents
Inserting citations tips for using Harvard Up to three authors cite all named authors (Adams, Weiss and Coatie, 2010) Use et al. for more than three authors (Lauren et al., 2006) Every author is given in the bibliography If the source is anonymous use the title instead
Harvard examples Book In-Text Citation (Findlay 1999: 11) Bibliography Findlay, M. 1999, The globalisation of crime : understanding transitional relationships in context, Cambridge University Press, Cambridge. Journal article In-Text Citation (Hooghe et al. 2011) Bibliography Hooghe, M., Vanhoutte, B., Hardyns, W. & Bircan, T. 2011, "Unemployment, Inequality, Poverty and Crime: Spatial Distribution Patterns of Criminal Acts in Belgium, 2001 06", The British Journal of Criminology, vol. 51, no. 1, pp. 1-20.
Inserting citations - Quoting Quote only when necessary When meaning would be lost if summarized You are discussing the language used Use for short quotations of 1 to 2 sentences As Amartya Sen (1999: 10) writes, Freedoms are not only the primary ends of development, they are also among its principal means.
Inserting citations Indented block text The increasing cultural influence of the West is indicative of the West s growing dominance: The contemporary world is dominated by the West, and even though the imperial authority of the erstwhile rulers of the world has declined, the dominance of the West remains as strong as ever-in some ways stronger than before, especially in cultural matters. The sun does not set on the empire of Coca-cola or MTV. (Sen, 1999: 240) The nature of this cultural imperialism has widespread implications for how we measure the impact that
Inserting citations - Paraphrasing Restating an idea in your own words More detailed view of an idea than summarizing, but can be misleading avoid if possible Example* People's willingness to obey authority figures cannot be explained by psychological factors alone. In an earlier era, people may have had the ability to invest in social situations to a greater extent. However, as society has become increasingly structured by a division of labor, people have become more alienated from situations over which they do not have control (Milgram, 1974: 737) * Example modified and taken from: Anon, Summarizing, Paraphrasing, and Quoting Harvard Guide to Using Sources.
