Guidelines on the Ethical use of Information


1. Respect the author’s intentions.
- It is important to never use information in a way it’s different from the
author’s intentions.
Example : Anne Fausto-Sterling’s book, “Myths of Gender : Biological
Theories about Women
and Men, stated flaws regarding scientific studies that describe the connection between
gender and behavior. It would be unethical to use some of the studies she cited for a
paper regarding gender – related behavioral differences.
2. Do not change the author’s main idea.
- Although it is not always necessary to quote an entire passage to make your point, make
sure that you have not changed the author’s main idea through selective quoting or use of
ellipsis.
3. Do not ignore information that conflicts with your thesis.
- It is not ethical to prove your thesis by ignoring well – known information that conflicts
with or refutes it. A well – argued paper confronts such evidence.
4. Context matters.
- Always be aware of the context ( i.e. historical, sociological, cultural, etc. ) in which your
source document was produced.
- Although you should keep these guidelines in mind when researching and writing your
papers, you may run into a few gray areas such as :
a. Texts that seemingly contradict their arguments.
b. Texts that contain information that can be used to support a thesis not addressed by
the author.
Different Types of Citations used for Ethical use of
Information
1. APA ( American Psychological Association ) – education and
sciences.
2. MLA ( Modern Language Association ) – humanities.
3. Chicago/Turabian – Business, History, and the Fine Arts.
