WHAT IS THE PLAGIARISM
`Plagiarism is the "wrongful appropriation"
and "stealing and publication" of another
author's "language, thoughts, ideas, or
expressions" and the representation of them
as one's own original work
Plagiarism is considered academic
dishonesty and a breach of journalistic ethics.
It is subject to sanctions like penalties,
suspension, and even expulsion.
The definition by B. Gipp is an abridged version of Teddi
Fishman's definition of plagiarism, which proposed five
elements characteristic of plagiarism.

According to T.
Fishman, plagiarism occurs when someone:
Uses words, ideas, or work products
Attributable to another identifiable person or source
Without attributing the work to the source from which
it was obtained
In a situation in which there is a legitimate expectation
of original authorship
In order to obtain some benefit, credit, or gain which
need not be monetary
Furthermore, plagiarism is defined differently
among institutions of higher learning and
universities:

Stanford sees plagiarism as the "use, without
giving reasonable and appropriate credit to or
acknowledging the author or source, of
another person's original work, whether such
work is made up of code, formulas, ideas,
language, research, strategies, writing or other
form
Oxford College of Emory University
characterizes plagiarism as the use of "a
writer's ideas or phraseology without giving
due credit.
Princeton perceives plagiarism as the
"deliberate" use of "someone else's language,
ideas, or other original (not common-
knowledge) material without acknowledging
its source

Consequences of plagiarism
There are so many consequences of plagiarism,
because that is bad attitude especially in
journalism. And we must avoid it. With many
consequences we hope the plagiarism will
minimize.

Destroyed Student Reputation
Plagiarism allegations can cause a student to be
suspended or expelled. Their academic record
can reflect the ethics offense, possibly causing
the student to be barred from entering college
from high school or another college. Schools,
colleges, and universities take plagiarism very
seriously. Most educational institutions have
academic integrity committees who police
students. Many schools suspend students for
their first violation. Students are usually expelled
for further offences.

Destroyed Professional Reputation
A professional business person, politician, or public
figure may find that the damage from plagiarism
follows them for their entire career. Not only will
they likely be fired or asked to step down from
their present position, but they will surely find it
difficult to obtain another respectable job.
Depending on the offense and the plagiarists
public stature, his or her name may become
ruined, making any kind of meaningful career
impossible.

Destroyed Academic Reputation
The consequences of plagiarism have been
widely reported in the world of academia.
Once scarred with plagiarism allegations, an
academics career can be ruined. Publishing is
an integral part of a prestigious academic
career. To lose the ability to publish most likely
means the end of an academic position and a
destroyed reputation.

Legal Repercussions
The legal repercussions of plagiarism can be quite
serious. Copyright laws are absolute. One cannot use
another persons material without citation and
reference. An author has the right to sue a plagiarist.
Some plagiarism may also be deemed a criminal
offense, possibly leading to a prison sentence. Those
who write for a living, such as journalists or authors,
are particularly susceptible to plagiarism issues. Those
who write frequently must be ever-vigilant not to err.
Writers are well-aware of copyright laws and ways to
avoid plagiarism. As a professional writer, to plagiarize
is a serious ethical and perhaps legal issue.

Monetary Repercussions
Many recent news reports and articles have
exposed plagiarism by journalists, authors,
public figures, and researchers. In the case
where an author sues a plagiarist, the author
may be granted monetary restitution. In the
case where a journalist works for a magazine,
newspaper or other publisher, or even if a
student is found plagiarizing in school, the
offending plagiarist could have to pay
monetary penalties
6 Ways to Avoid Plagiarism
Paraphrase - So you have found information
that is perfect for your research paper. Read it
and put it into your own words. Make sure
that you do not copy verbatim more than two
words in a row from the text you have found.
If you do use more than two words together,
you will have to use quotation marks. We will
get into quoting properly soon.

Cite - Citing is one of the effective ways to
avoid plagiarism. Follow the document
formatting guidelines (i.e. APA, MLA, Chicago,
etc.) used by your educational institution or
the institution that issued the research
request. This usually entails the addition of
the author(s) and the date of the publication
or similar information. Citing is really that
simple. Not citing properly can constitute
plagiarism.

Quoting - When quoting a source, use the quote
exactly the way it appears. No one wants to be
misquoted. Most institutions of higher
learning frown on block quotes or quotes of
40 words or more. A scholar should be able to
effectively paraphrase most material. This
process takes time, but the effort pays off!
Quoting must be done correctly to avoid
plagiarism allegations.

Citing Quotes - Citing a quote can be different
than citing paraphrased material. This practice
usually involves the addition of a page
number, or a paragraph number in the case of
web content.

Citing Your Own Material - If some of the
material you are using for your research paper
was used by you in your current class, a
previous one, or anywhere else you must cite
yourself. Treat the text the same as you would
if someone else wrote it. It may sound odd,
but using material you have used before is
called self-plagiarism, and it is not acceptable
Citing Your Own Material - If some of the

if someone else wrote it. It may sound odd,
but using material you have used before is
called self-plagiarism, and it is not acceptable.

Referencing - One of the most important ways
to avoid plagiarism is including a reference
page or page of works cited at the end of your
research paper. Again, this page must meet
the document formatting guidelines used by
your educational institution. This information
is very specific and includes the author(s),
date of publication, title, and source. Follow
the directions for this page carefully. You will
want to get the references right.

EXAMPLE OF PLAGIARISM
Author Doris Kearns Goodwin interviewed
author Lynne McTaggart in her 1987 book The
Fitzgeralds and the Kennedys, and she used
passages from McTaggart's book about Kathleen
Kennedy. In 2002, when the similarities between
Goodwin's and McTaggart's books became public,
Goodwin stated that she had an understanding
that citations would not be required for all
references, and that extensive footnotes already
existed. Many doubted her claims, and she was
forced to resign from the Pulitzer Prize board.
