Is this plagiarism?

[flimmeryrose741]

What if you made a research about your topic. Nagbabasa ka lang ng maraming libro that is related to your topic and you ask some people around.
Tapos when you did your paper, most of the things that you write are the opinions that you come up after making a research. You did not exactly copy anything from any of those books. Yung main points lang siguro, pero its your own word naman.
Well, is it alright not to put some of of the references that like internet links. Marami kasi akong sources especially sa internet pero pareho lang talaga yung contents nila. So can i just choose sa mga sources na kinuha ko? Nahihiya kasi ako sa iba, like I don't want to put "wikipedia' sa sources ko.

Ano ba plagiarism, ano ba yung hindi?

I think the proper practice is to name the authors or works in the "Review of Literature", and to list the works in the bibliography.

paano ba maging moderator? Just kidding.
Pero diba its ok to omit some sources? Especially useless works? kuya danny, did you ever copy someones work without giving that person credit?

KuyaDanny, naming the authors or works in the bibliography, review of literature, or works cited section may still lead to plagiarism when the information used is poorly and inappropriately referenced and cited. This is called accidental plagiarism. In academic and research papers, the best way to cite sources is by using the MLA (Modern Language Association) (http://www.mla.org/) style, which is the most commonly used referencing or citation format.

flimmeryrose741, to avoid plagiarism, credit is always given if you use or borrow other people's idea, spoken words or opinion, or anything lifted from whatever source. Even if you paraphrase them, it's your responsibility to credit the sources. If knowledge is common, it's not necessary to cite sources.

I hope this helps!

Naalala ko lang before when I was still in UPD may foreign grad. student na natanggalan ng degree because of plagiarism. She's from CSSP. Too bad for her at nahuli siya. Its better to include the review of literature and sources etc. before submitting your paper works. :bop:

Here in the US, most universities require their students to turn in their research papers to turnitin.com. To date, this practice has really been successful in curbing plagiarism. The site will automatically inform the professor the percentage of copied work in a student's paper.

ok well. Uhm does soliciting answers from the forum, plagiarizing?

[kaningbrown]

Slightly OT: Wikipedia is no more a good source for research work than the Pasig River is for drinking water. It should be a guiding tool, not the reliable source.

If you cant cite a direct quoate? Paraphrase from multiple sources.

Treat this forum as you would a conversation with friends and classmates. So it'whatever you get here could probably be categorized as hearsay or an informal survey.

[KuyaDanny]

...but obviously if from this forum you acquire scholarly material that is attributed to the original source and you end up using it in your paper, you are obliged to credit the original source.

[kaningbrown]

It's better if you get a formal statement from the guy who posted the info in the forums though, so proper credits and credibility can be included in the research work.

I have already mentioned about this in my first post: "...credit is always given if you use or borrow other people's idea, spoken words or opinion, or anything lifted from whatever source."

uhm... :( , uh-uh.. so.. uh.. uhm.. ok. nalilito ako.. so how do you cite it? Pero i guess wala naman siguro mangyayari if i won't cite it. May nabasa yata ako na if its a common knowledge, no need to give them a credit.
