Tiferes Citation and Plagiarism Guide

 

Definitions

  • Annotated Bibliography - a list of sources which also includes an  evaluation of each source's content and the way in which you plan to use the sources.

 

  • APA (American Psychological Association) style - this is generally used within sciences and social sciences, for example anthropology, economics, geography, history, political science, psychology, social studies, and sociology. Please use whichever style is requested by your teacher.

 

  • Bibliography – Similar to References or Sources Cited, however a bibliography may include works consulted but not actually cited in your project. Your teacher will indicate if he or she would like you to include these sources.

  • Citation: Documentation giving the source of someone else’s material.
    (The verb is to cite the source.) A full citation can include author, title, date, page number, etc using the format specified by your teacher (usually APA or MLA). Material can be written, on the web, art, music, movies and more.

 

  • Fair Use Policy/Fair Dealing - the conditions under which limited use or copyrighted material is allowed without requiring permission from the rights holders. Fair Use is used in the U.S. and Fair Dealing is the term used in Canada.

 

  • Footnotes, Endnotes – Footnotes appear at the bottom of a page on which a quotation or paraphrase appears. Endnotes are provided at the end of the paper, before the bibliography.  Teachers will indicate whether they prefer in-text citation, footnotes or endnotes.

 

  • In-Text Citation – the brief notation in parentheses (brackets) directly after quoted or paragraphed text that gives the last name of the author, or if the you use multiple works by the same author, also the name of the work. If the author is unknown, you may refer to the website or editor or other identifying information. Each source should correspond with listings in the bibliography. Teachers will indicate whether they prefer in-text citation, footnotes or endnotes.

 

  • MLA (Modern Language Association) style  - this format is most common for citing sources within the liberal arts and humanities such as literature, art, languages and philosophy. Please use whichever style is requested by y our teacher.

 

  • Paraphrase - to put text in your own words. Note that the bulk of the work must be in your words; changing only a few words counts as plagiarism.

 

  • References (APA)/ Sources Cited (MLA) –  – a list of books, articles and other  sources that are referred to in your report. A bibliography appears at the end of your work with sources listed in alphabetical order.  All in-text citations, footnotes or endnotes must have a corresponding entry in the bibliography.
