Ms. Anna Victoria F. Clemente,
LPT
At the end of the discussion you will be
able to:
1. define “Plagiarism”
2. determine the different types
of plagiarism
3. explain the importance of
determining the types of
plagiarism
Plagiarism is defined as

copying verbatim of language and of other

To avoid “Plagiarism of
ideas” make sure to use
proper “Citation”

A "citation" is the way you

tell your readers that certain
material in your work came
from another source.

being done to acknowledge

the ownership of the work
you used
Citations are being done in different ways:

Author-Oriented Citation

Text-Oriented Citation

Another way of citation

 Author-Oriented Citation

It starts with surname of the author, followed

by the year of publication in parenthesis. Verbs of
statement such as argues, posits, and emphasizes
at the start of paragraph or sentence may be used.
Example of author-oriented citation

Pulido (2012) believes that language in an online

environment can be understood if other modes of
online communication are further analyzed to
provide a full account of interaction in virtual worlds.
 Text Oriented Citation

A paragraph or sentence from a source is followed

with the surname of the author of the work and the
year of publication. The citation must be enclosed
in parenthesis.
Example of text-oriented citation

Unless educators realize the importance of

reading and writing across subject areas,
problems in comprehension of subject
matter will be a prominent issue in the
teaching learning process (Estacio, 2010).
 Another Way of Citation

Start the sentence or paragraph by using

the phrase “According to…” followed by
the surname of the author and the year
of publication enclosed in parenthesis.
Example of another way of citation

According to Mendoza (1990), by the end of the

century, our fuel reserves will be reduced to half,
and scarcity of energy supplies will be a big
problem.
Remember: Citation is not only limited to
text. Movies, images and music should be
cited if used on your paper.
The General rule is that the Author, title
of work (may it be image,
movie or music) and year it was
produced (if applicable) be
included in the citation.

able to:
1. Identify the 3 note-taking
techniques;
2. Determine the steps in using
these techniques;
3. explain the importance of
using the techniques.
How should we avoid
Plagiarism?
To address “Plagiarism of
Language”, effective note-taking
techniques should be used.

Note-taking techniques allows you

to rephrase original text into your
own.

Three types of note-taking

techniques are: using direct
quotations, summarizing, and
paraphrasing.
 How to SUMMARIZE?
1. Include the title and identify the author in your first
sentence.
2. The first sentence or two of your summary should
contain the author’s thesis, or central concept, stated
in your own words *ANSWERS THE QUESTION: “What is
this piece/article about?”
3. In general, omit minor details and specific examples.
4. Avoid writing opinions or personal responses in your
summaries
5. Be careful not to plagiarize the author’s words. If you
do use even a few of the author’s words, they must
appear in quotation marks.
 EXAMPLE:
ORIGINAL PASSAGE:

Mobile and computer technology may also affect

children’s sociability. The use of this technology
may take away hours from children’s social and
playing time. Yet from another perspective, it can
help cultivate their communication and social skills
through using different social media platforms and
sharing apps with friends. (Subia and Tatel,2014).

What is PARAPHRASING?
A restatement in your own words of
the main idea and supporting
details of the text.
 How to PARAPHRASE?
1. Start your first sentence at a different
point from that of the original source
2. Use synonyms (words that mean the
same thing)
3. Change the sentence structure (e.g.
from active to passive voice)
4. Break the information into separate
sentences

Summarize the text in twenty words or less.

Studies have found that paper bags have a larger carbon footprint compared to
plastic bags because of the amount of energy, water and chemicals the
production of paper bags consume. In a briefing note prepared by Kirsty Bell
and Suzie Cave (2011) for Northern Ireland Assembly, it is reported that
manufacturing paper bags requires above four times the amount of energy
plastic bags do. Also the production of paper bags contributes more air and
water pollution compared to plastic bags. Other than high energy consumption
during processing, it also requires paper bags more energy to be transported.
This is because compared to plastic bags, paper bags weigh more and take up
more space (Chua-Unsu, 2014).
