Use Quotes, Paraphrase, or Don’t Cite?From an article on computational drug delivery by Dr. Haworth:“An apparent difference between simulation methods that are broadly aimed at drug discovery/design and those aimed at aspects of drug delivery is the greater molecular focus in the former approaches” (Haworth 2006, p. 1271). Haworth, IS. Computational drug delivery. Adv Drug Deliv Rev. 2006 Nov 30; 58(12-13): 1271-3. You type:An area of focus in modern pharmaceutical science research is how computers can be used to predict how drugs will interact. • Insert quotes • Paraphrase • Don’t cite

A Pharmacy Student Scenario (cont.) Dr. Hay’s study reads: “Intensive outpatient pharmacist consultation targeting high-risk patients would improve survival and decrease hospitalization rates” (Yuan, Hay, McCombs 2003, p. 45). Yuan Y, Hay JW, McCombs JS. Effects of ambulatory-care pharmacist consultation on mortality and hospitalization. Am J Manag Care. 2003 Jan; 9(1): 45-56. Into your report you type: Survival would be improved and hospitalization rates would decrease with intensive outpatient pharmacist consultation that targets high-risk patients (Yuan, Hay, McCombs 2003).
This example is… • Not plagiarism since you changed the wording and gave the authors credit in a citation • Not plagiarism since you asked Dr. Hay if you could include the idea in your paper • Plagiarism since you failed to include the page number from Dr. Hay’s paper • Plagiarism since you did not put direct quotes around the sentence • Plagiarism since your wording is too similar to the authors’ sentence
