Here, source usage methods -- summary, paraphrase and quotation -- are explained, with examples. The most common types of plagiarism are discussed, from simple mistakes such as forgetting to use quotation marks when using someone else's exact words, or failing to acknowledge another's thoughts and ideas, to wholesale fraudulence, such as purchasing student papers from online sites and claiming them as one's own work. A brief essential guide to citing sources using both MLA and APA documentation styles is also included.

Students learn to recognize the common acts of plagiarism and how to correct their errors.

KEY TOPICS:

Distinction between intentional and unintentional plagiarism

Gives tips on what is considered to be common knowledge

Avoiding online plagiarism

I found this book demystifies this topic. It leaves you very little wiggle room to plagiarize. After reading this book, you know if you are or are not plagiarizing. I never thought that I did this. However after reading this book, I found out that I was. Well, I have put an end to this, thanks to this reading. This would fit well in any library.

A Must for Every Student

Reviewed in the United States on February 13, 2010

This reference should be given to every high school student. Don't wait 'till college -develop good habits AND ethics early! Clear, concise, well organized, with this reference a student can turn out a paper that is accurately and correctly annotated.

A word of caution: there is a new, 2009 edition that includes the latest MLA guidelines. Make sure that's the edition received!
