! Citation <<PassagePrevNext "common_citation_01">>

! What is citation? Citation is the process of documenting the sources you use in your writing. A \ source is any document (a book, an article, a video, etc.) that you borrow ideas \ from to support your writing. The specific details of how you cite your sources \ depend on the citation style that you use, but generally, all citation includes \ two parts: an in-text citation (a note in the body of your paper) and a \ bibliography entry (a longer note at the end of your paper). <<PassagePrevNext "common_citation_02">>

! Citation There are many different citation styles out there, but here are a few of the most \ common ones: !! APA This style originates in psychology but is used widely in the social sciences \ and sciences. If you're not sure which style to choose, try this one. !! MLA This style is managed by the Modern Language Association and is used primarily \ in the study of language and literature. English majors, this one is for you. !! Chicago This is another popular style in the humanities and social sciences. History, \ politics, and theology majors should choose this style. !! ASA This style is used exclusively in sociology. If you're a sociology major, choose \ this style. <<PassagePrevNext "common_citation_03">>

! Citation Let's start by choosing the style that will be shown to you during this \ tutorial. <<back "< Back">> \ <<link "APA" "common_citation_04">><<set $style = "APA">><</link>> \ <<link "MLA" "common_citation_04">><<set $style = "MLA">><</link>> \ <<link "Chicago" "common_citation_04">><<set $style = "Chicago">><</link>> \ <<link "ASA" "common_citation_04">><<set $style = "ASA">><</link>>

! Citation Now that you've selected your citation style, let's dig into the basics: Why cite sources? <<PassagePrevNext "common_citation_05">>

! Citation While writing can often feel like a solitary activity, good academic writing is \ actually an asynchronous conversation involving many parties. <<PassagePrevNext "common_citation_06">>

! Citation One party is you, the author. You are sharing your thoughts on paper (or on a \ screen), but those thoughts have not developed in your brain from nothing. <<PassagePrevNext "common_citation_07">>

! Citation You've received ideas from other researchers. They have, in a sense, spoken to \ you. They are part of the conversation. And then there are the people who you \ will speak to through your writing—people who will add your thoughts and \ ideas (and by extension, the thoughts and ideas of all the authors that you \ read) to their own ideas. <<PassagePrevNext "common_citation_08">>

! Citation Citing sources is of fundamental importance to this conversation. <<PassagePrevNext "common_citation_09">>

! Citation By properly citing your sources, you can quickly provide important context for \ your research, and lead your readers to the research that you relied on to \ inform your work. Your readers can then engage with the ideas that came before \ yours, allowing them to contribute to the conversation. <<PassagePrevNext "common_citation_10">>

! Citation It is this conversation that pushes all research forward. Researchers comment on \ each other's work, informing one another, and generating newer and better ideas \ within a given subject area. <<PassagePrevNext "common_citation_11">>

! Citation In this sense, properly citing your sources is a tremendous gift to future \ researchers. <<PassagePrevNext "common_citation_12">>

! Citation And, as an added bonus, readers will be more likely to trust the validity of \ your arguments when they are clearly supported by the work of others. <<PassagePrevNext "common_plagiarism_00">>

! Plagiarism <<PassagePrevNext "common_plagiarism_01">>

! Plagiarism If all of those wonderful reasons to properly cite your sources aren't enough to \ convince you to do it, there is something else you should know. There is a name \ for the act of failing to properly cite your sources: plagiarism. And plagiarism \ is a punishable academic offence! <<PassagePrevNext "common_plagiarism_02">>

! Plagiarism What exactly is plagiarism? \ [[Acadia's calendar|https://registrar.acadiau.ca/AcademicCalendars.html]] \ defines it as "the act of presenting the ideas or words of another as one's own" \ (p. 37). Using another writer's ideas or words is a normal part of academic work, but you \ must clearly indicate when you are doing this. <<PassagePrevNext "common_plagiarism_03">>

! Plagiarism [[Acadia's calendar|https://registrar.acadiau.ca/AcademicCalendars.html]] \ continues: "Self-plagiarism is also a form of plagiarism. It is the presentation \ of the same work in more than one course without the permission of the \ instructors involved" (p. 37). Writing two different papers on the same topic \ for two different courses is fine, but you can't submit the exact same paper in \ both courses unless both instructors agree. <<PassagePrevNext "common_plagiarism_04">>

! Plagiarism If you are caught plagiarising, there are a range of penalties you may face, \ including: * Failing your assignment * Failing your course * Being expelled from university <<PassagePrevNext "common_plagiarism_05">>

! Plagiarism Proper citation helps you write a better paper and stay out of trouble. And it \ helps future researchers too! Everyone wins with proper citation. <<PassagePrevNext "common_plagiarism_06">>

! Plagiarism Now, let's see if you can identify what plagiarism looks like. <<PassagePrevNext "common_plagiarism_07">>

<<set $next_common_passage = "common_plagiarism_08">> <<set $include_passage = "style_" + $style.toLowerCase() + "_plagiarism_01">> <<include $include_passage>>

<<set $next_common_passage = "common_tip_01">> <<set $include_passage = "style_"+ $style.toLowerCase() + "_plagiarism_02">> <<include $include_passage>>

! Tip #1 Paraphrasing improperly is still plagiarism! To paraphrase properly, you must: <<nobr>> <<switch $style.toLowerCase()>> <<case "apa">> <<set _txt = "an in-text citation AND in your References list">> <<case "asa">> <<set _txt = "an in-text reference AND in your References list">> <<case "chicago">> <<set _txt = "a footnote OR an in-text reference, AND in your Bibliography">> <<case "mla">> <<set _txt = "an in-text citation AND in your Works Cited list">> <</switch>> <</nobr>> # really, truly use your own words and sentence structure: don't just change a \ couple of words; # cite the source with <<print _txt>>. <<PassagePrevNext "common_tip_02">>

! Tip #2 Putting quotation marks around quotations isn't enough! <<nobr>> <<switch $style>> <<case "APA">> <<set _txt = "an in-text citation AND cite the source fully in your References list">> <<case "ASA">> <<set _txt = "an in-text reference AND cite the source fully in your References list">> <<case "Chicago">> <<set _txt = "a footnote OR an in-text reference, AND cite the source fully in your Bibliography">> <<case "MLA">> <<set _txt = "an in-text citation AND cite the source fully in your Works Cited list">> <</switch>> <</nobr>> You still have to insert <<print _txt>>. <<PassagePrevNext "common_knowledge_00">>

! Common knowledge <<PassagePrevNext "common_knowledge_01">>

! Common knowledge Common knowledge does not need to be cited. But what exactly //is// common \ knowledge? "Common knowledge" refers to facts that are widely known to society at large \ (general common knowledge) or to a particular discipline (discipline-specific \ common knowledge). <<PassagePrevNext "common_knowledge_02">>

! Common knowledge ''General common knowledge'' includes things like basic facts about famous \ people (Mozart was born in 1756), well-known historical events (Canada won the \ Summit Series in 1972), or scientific facts (table salt is sodium chloride). It \ should be clear from the Summit Series example that what is general common \ knowledge in one culture or country is not necessarily common knowledge in \ another, so it is important to consider your intended reader's context. <<PassagePrevNext "common_knowledge_03">>

! Common knowledge ''Discipline-specific common knowledge'' refers to basic facts that would be \ common knowledge only to people well-versed in the discipline and not \ necessarily to society at large. For example, a reference to the zeroth law of \ thermodynamics would not need to be cited in a physics paper because it would \ be commonly known among physicists, but it would need to be cited in a paper \ intended for a non-specialist audience for whom it would //not// be commonly \ known. <<PassagePrevNext "common_knowledge_04">>

! Common knowledge ''When in doubt, cite!'' It is always safer to cite something that doesn't need \ to be cited than to //not// cite something that //does// need to be cited! <<PassagePrevNext "common_knowledge_05">>

<<set $next_common_passage = "common_knowledge_06">> <<set $include_passage = "style_"+ $style.toLowerCase() + "_knowledge_01">> <<include $include_passage>>

<<set $next_common_passage = "common_knowledge_07">> /* next passage exception for ASA style content which does not have a third common knowledge element, thus "common_knowledge_07" must be skipped. */ <<if $style.toLowerCase() == "asa">> <<set $next_common_passage = "common_quotvpara_00">> <</if>> <<set $include_passage = "style_"+ $style.toLowerCase() + "_knowledge_02">> <<include $include_passage>>

<<set $next_common_passage = "common_tip_03">> <<set $include_passage = "style_"+ $style.toLowerCase() + "_knowledge_03">> <<include $include_passage>>

! Tip #3 Even if you found something online, you must still cite it! Using things from the web is no different than using print sources as far as \ plagiarism goes: you still have to cite the source. Just because something is \ publicly available on the web doesn't mean that it's in the public \ domain—and even it it really //is// in the public domain, you still have \ to cite it. <<PassagePrevNext "common_tip_04">>

! Tip #4 Start your research early! It is important to give yourself lots of time to do research before your paper \ is due. It can take time to find the best resources to support your arguments, \ and you may find that your arguments change as you do research and learn more \ about your topic. So, make sure to start your research well before your work is \ due. <<PassagePrevNext "common_quotvpara_00">>

! Quoting vs Paraphrasing <<PassagePrevNext "common_quotvpara_01">>

! Quoting vs Paraphrasing Quoting is copying a source exactly, word for word. A direct quotation is placed \ between double quotation marks to indicate precisely where the copying begins \ and ends, and the source must always be cited. Paraphrasing is taking information from a source and putting it into your own \ words. A paraphrase is not indicated by quotation marks because it's not an \ exact copy, but the source must still be cited. <<PassagePrevNext "common_quotvpara_02">>

! Quoting vs Paraphrasing How do you know whether you should quote or paraphrase a source? Quoting is only necessary when the exact words of the source matter. For example, \ if you are writing an English paper in which you are analyzing the actual words \ and phrases an author uses, it is helpful to your reader if you directly quote \ those words and phrases. Quotation is therefore much more common in the \ discipline of literature and language studies than in any other subject area. The other situations in which quotation is preferable to paraphrasing, in any \ discipline, are if the language of the original source is extremely well-known \ or historically significant (e.g. "To be or not to be") or if it is so perfectly \ crafted that any attempt to paraphrase would diminish or fail to capture its \ meaning. These situations are rare, so apart from the literary essay, you should normally \ choose paraphrasing over quotation. <<PassagePrevNext "common_quotvpara_03">>

! Quoting vs Paraphrasing ''Quote'' if the exact words of the source matter. ''Paraphrase'' if it's just the idea expressed by the source that matters. <<PassagePrevNext "common_quotvpara_04">>

<<set $include_passage = "style_"+ $style.toLowerCase() + "_quotvpara_01_include">> <<include $include_passage>> <<PassagePrevNext "common_quotvpara_05">>

<<set $include_passage = "style_"+ $style.toLowerCase() + "_quotvpara_02_include">> <<include $include_passage>> <<PassagePrevNext "common_quotvpara_06">>

<<set $include_passage = "style_"+ $style.toLowerCase() + "_quotvpara_03_include">> <<include $include_passage>> <<PassagePrevNext "common_quotvpara_07">>

<<set $next_common_passage = "common_quotvpara_08">> <<set $include_passage = "style_"+ $style.toLowerCase() + "_quotvpara_04">> <<include $include_passage>>

<<set $next_common_passage = "common_quotvpara_09">> <<set $include_passage = "style_"+ $style.toLowerCase() + "_quotvpara_05">> <<include $include_passage>>

<<set $next_common_passage = "common_quotvpara_10">> <<set $include_passage = "style_"+ $style.toLowerCase() + "_quotvpara_06">> <<include $include_passage>>

<<set $next_common_passage = "common_tip_05">> <<set $include_passage = "style_"+ $style.toLowerCase() + "_quotvpara_07">> <<include $include_passage>>

! Tip #5 Use direct quotations sparingly. The majority of your paper should be in your \ own words. <<PassagePrevNext "common_tip_06">>

! Tip #6 If you're unsure of if, when, or how to cite something, check a citation guide, \ ask your professor, or ask a librarian. <<PassagePrevNext "common_tip_07">>

! Tip #7 Document your sources immediately as you are doing your research. That way, when \ you're writing your paper, you'll always know where that perfect quotation came \ from. <<PassagePrevNext "common_zotero_00">>
