Notes from Citation class--sorry for the delay!!

There are three basic kinds of plagiarism:

You use another’s WORDS (even with slight changes) as though they were your own—without quotation or attribution.

2. You use another’s IDEAS, even entirely in your own words, without citation.

3. You use factual material which is ascertained from original research (e.g. A statistical analysis. You can, however, use commonly-known facts, such as dates, names etc. without attribution).

QUOTATION vs PARAPHRASE


1. QUOTATIONS
“Japan has a special place in the virtual future,” the writer Kyo Maclear observed in 1997.


But, Maclear notes, Blade Runner also keeps showing “the image of a digitalized geisha refracted on a giant screen.” Hers is one of the rare smiles in the film. (Starts with paraphrase and becomes a quotation, and ends again with paraphrase).

2. PARAPHRASE
Kyo Maclear noted in 1997 that Japan would be particularly important in our future virtual worlds.

Maclear also pointed out that it is the digitalized human, a geisha on a giant screen, who has one of the rare smiles in the film.
