Plagiarism and Paraphrasing – How to Avoid Plagiarism
�
Plagiarism:
�
Plagiarism is never allowed: (Refer to the TSU Undergraduate Catalog: Plagiarism, cheating, and other forms of academic dishonesty are prohibited. Students guilty of academic misconduct, either directly or indirectly through participation or assistance, are immediately responsible to the instructor of the class. In addition to the other possible disciplinary sanctions which may be imposed through the regular institutional procedures as a result of academic misconduct, the instructor has the authority to assign an ‘F’ or a zero for the exercise or examination, or assign an ‘F’ in the course.

How to Correctly Paraphrase
As more information in different formats becomes accessible, many accreditation organizations view information literacy, with its emphasis on the location, application and evaluation of information as a vital component of critical thinking and analytical skills. To assist in reaching a consensus about the definition of information literacy, the Association of College and Research Libraries (ACRL) defined an information literate person as one who understands when information is needed and has the ability to locate, evaluate, and use that information efficiently and effectively.
�
Paraphrasing
According to Saunders (February 2007), with the proliferation of information in various formats, accreditation bodies have realized the importance of information literacy standards in education. With the endorsement of the Association of Colleges and Research Libraries (ACRL), standards have been included in accreditation requirements to make students proficient at locating, evaluating, and having the ability to use information effectively and efficiently to acquire analytical and critical thinking skills for lifelong learning.

AVOIDING PLAGIARISM

http://writing.wisc.edu/Handbook/QPA_paraphrase.html
Successful vs. unsuccessful paraphrases
Paraphrasing is often defined as putting a passage from an author into “your own words.” But what are your own words? How different must your paraphrase be from the original?
The paragraphs below provide an example by showing a passage as it appears in the� source, two paraphrases that� follow the source too closely, and a� legitimate� paraphrase.
The student’s intention was to incorporate the material in the original passage into a section of a paper on the concept of “experts” that compared the functions of experts and non-experts in several professions.
The Passage as It Appears in the Source
Critical care nurses function in a hierarchy of roles. In this open heart surgery unit, the nurse manager hires and fires the nursing personnel. The nurse manager does not directly care for patients but follows the progress of unusual or long-term patients. On each shift a nurse assumes the role of resource nurse. This person oversees the hour-by-hour functioning of the unit as a whole, such as considering expected admissions and discharges of patients, ascertaining that beds are available for patients in the operating room, and covering sick calls. Resource nurses also take a patient assignment. They are the most experienced of all the staff nurses. The nurse clinician has a separate job description and provides for quality of care by orienting new staff, developing unit policies, and providing direct support where needed, such as assisting in emergency situations. The clinical nurse specialist in this unit is mostly involved with formal teaching in orienting new staff. The nurse manager, nurse clinician, and clinical nurse specialist are the designated experts. They do not take patient assignments. The resource nurse is seen as both a caregiver and a resource to other caregivers. . . . Staff nurses have a hierarchy of seniority. . . . Staff nurses are assigned to patients to provide all their nursing care. (Chase, 1995, p. 156)
Word-for-Word Plagiarism
Critical care nurses have� a hierarchy of roles.� The nurse manager hires and fires� nurses. S/he� does not directly care for patients� but does� follow unusual or long-term� cases.� On each shift� a resource nurse attends to the� functioning of the unit as a whole, such as� making sure� beds are available in the operating room, and also has� a patient assignment. The nurse clinician� orients new staff, develops policies, and provides support where needed. The clinical nurse specialist also� orients new staff, mostly� by� formal teaching. The nurse manager, nurse clinician, and clinical nurse specialist, as� the designated experts, do not take patient assignments. The resource nurse is not only a caregiver but� a resource to the other caregivers. Within the staff nurses there is also� a hierarchy of seniority. Their job is to give assigned patients� all their nursing care.
Why this is plagiarism
Notice that the writer has not only “borrowed” Chase’s material (the results of her research) with no acknowledgment, but has also largely maintained the author’s method of expression and sentence structure. The phrases in red are directly copied from the source or changed only slightly in form.
Even if the student-writer had acknowledged Chase as the source of the content, the language of the passage would be considered plagiarized because no quotation marks indicate the phrases that come directly from Chase. And if quotation marks did appear around all these phrases, this paragraph would be so cluttered that it would be unreadable.
�
A Patchwork Paraphrase
Chase (1995) describes how nurses in a critical care unitÂ� function in a hierarchyÂ� that placesdesignated expertsÂ� at the top and the least senior staff nurses at the bottom. The experts — the nurse manager, nurse clinician, and clinical nurse specialist — are not involved directly in patient care. The staff nurses, in contrast,Â� are assigned to patientsÂ� andÂ� provide all their nursing care. Within the staff nurses is aÂ� hierarchy of seniorityÂ� in which the most senior can become resource nurses: they are assigned a patient but also serve asÂ� a resource to other caregivers. The experts have administrative and teaching tasks such as selecting andÂ� orienting new staff, developing unit policies, and giving hands-onÂ� support where needed.
Why this is plagiarism
This paraphrase is a patchwork composed of pieces in the original author’s language (in red) and pieces in the student-writer’s words, all rearranged into a new pattern, but with none of the borrowed pieces in quotation marks. Thus, even though the writer acknowledges the source of the material, the underlined phrases are falsely presented as the student’s own.
�
A Legitimate Paraphrase
In her study of the roles of nurses in a critical care unit, Chase (1995) also found a hierarchy that distinguished the roles of experts and others. Just as the educational experts described above do not directly teach students, the experts in this unit do not directly attend to patients. That is the role of the staff nurses, who, like teachers, have their own “hierarchy of seniority” (p. 156). The roles of the experts include employing unit nurses and overseeing the care of special patients (nurse manager), teaching and otherwise integrating new personnel into the unit (clinical nurse specialist and nurse clinician), and policy-making (nurse clinician). In an intermediate position in the hierarchy is the resource nurse, a staff nurse with more experience than the others, who assumes direct care of patients as the other staff nurses do, but also takes on tasks to ensure the smooth operation of the entire facility.
Why this is a good paraphrase
The writer has documented Chase’s material and specific language (by direct reference to the author and by quotation marks around language taken directly from the source). Notice too that the writer has modified Chase’s language and structure and has added material to fit the new context and purpose — to present the distinctive functions of experts and non-experts in several professions.
Shared Language
Perhaps you have noticed that a number of phrases from the original passage appear in the legitimate paraphrase: critical care, staff nurses, nurse manager, clinical nurse specialist, nurse clinician, resource nurse.
If all these phrases were in red, the paraphrase would look much like the “patchwork” example. The difference is that the phrases in the legitimate paraphrase are all precise, economical, and conventional designations that are part of the shared language within the nursing discipline (in theÂ� too-close paraphrases, they’re red only when used within a longer borrowed phrase).
In every discipline and in certain genres (such as the empirical research report), some phrases are so specialized or conventional that you cannot paraphrase them except by wordy and awkward circumlocutions that would be less familiar (and thus less readable) to the audience.
According to Owen Johnson, 2015 who said,
“Critical care nurses have a hierarchy of roles. The nurse manager hires and fires nurses. S/he does not directly care for patients but does follow unusual or long-term cases. On each shift a resource nurse attends to the functioning of the unit as a whole, such as making sure beds are available in the operating room, and also has a patient assignment. The nurse clinician orients new staff, develops policies, and provides support where needed. The clinical nurse specialist also orients new staff, mostly by formal teaching. The nurse manager, nurse clinician, and clinical nurse specialist, as the designated experts, do not take patient assignments. The resource nurse is not only a caregiver but a resource to the other caregivers. Within the staff nurses there is also a hierarchy of seniority. Their job is to give assigned patients all their nursing care.”
When you repeat such phrases, you are not stealing the unique phrasing of an individual writer but using a common vocabulary shared by a community of scholars.
Some Examples of Shared Language You Don’t Need to Put in Quotation Marks
Â� Â� Â� Â� Â� Â� Â� Â� Conventional designations:Â� e.g., physician’s assistant, chronic low-back pain
� � � � � � � � Preferred bias-free language:� e.g., persons with disabilities
� � � � � � � � Technical terms and phrases of a discipline or genre:� e.g., reduplication, cognitive domain, material culture, sexual harassment

Add a page break
When you’re typing a document, Word automatically adds a page break at the end of each page, depending on where you set your margins. (You can also use section breaks to control the formatting of your document.)
However, if you want to add a page break somewhere else—for example, in the middle of the page so that later you can add a drawing or graphic—you can insert a manual page break. (You can always delete a page break that you’ve added but you can’t remove one that Word automatically adds at the end of each page.)
� � � � � Click where you want to start a new page.
� � � � � Click Insert> Page Break.
To see exactly where you’ve added that page break, turn on the non-printing (formatting) characters by clicking Home> Paragraph> Show/Hide.

Identify and describe the secure attachment styles. Give a real life example of what the style “looks” like when observing the interaction of two people.
