Plagiarism
Plagiarism is stealing or passing off ideas of someone else without acknowledging them.
Plagiarism is a major issue in schools because kids can copy and paste things easily without
simply sighting what they're doing. Citing sources is a simple and easy process with only nine
elements.
The elements include:
1. Author
2. Title of source
3. Title of container
4. Other contributors
5. Version
6. Number
7. Publisher
8. Publication date
9. Location.
The first element is the Author. Start with the authors last name.
The Purdue OWL.
Then add a comma.
The Purdue OWL,.
Then the authors last name.
The Purdue OWL.
In this case there is no first or last name so there is no comma.
The second element is Title Of Source. Since this is the author for a website, this will be in
website format. All that needs to be done is to write the website in i talics.
The Purdue OWL.https://owl.english.purdue.edu/owl/resource/747/01/

.
The third element is the title of container which goes before the title of source this is also in
website format.

.
The fourth element is other contributors. Every other person that helped with whatever you're
citing is a contributor. So you would write all of their names down.

A bibliography is a place with all the references and includes
The authors' names,
the titles of the works,
the names and locations of the companies that published your copies of the,
sources,
the dates your copies were published,
and the page numbers of your sources (if they are part of multi-source volumes).
(plagiarism.org.what's a bibliography?.iParadigms,2014.Web.30 Oct. 2016.)
The reason why it should be used is because it has the rest of the sites and information about
them that you might not have quoted.

Consequences for plagiarising include.

Lack of academic integrity undermines the philosophy of any educational programme.
Intellectual property borders being blurred and students are not clear who owns the information
available on the internet.
Students engaging in academic misconduct miss the learning opportunity.
(Garza, Dr. Celina. Academic honesty - from principles to practice. Oct. 2014.Web.30

Oct.2016.)
My thoughts on plagiarism are that it needs to be recognized by others who have done it and
are still doing it because they should stop taking credit from other peoples work and
information.
