  1. Finding Resources, Plagiarism ,and Citations

  2. Finding Useful Resources • Journal Articles • Book Chapters • Websites (e.g. Wikipedia) • Pamphlets, etc • Online news, etc.

  3. Finding Useful Resources • PsycINFO • Google Scholar (and then PsycINFO) • PsycINFO is available from the UD Website • www.lib.udel.edu • Databases • PsycINFO

  4. Plagiarism • When you express someone else’s ideas, findings, conclusions, anything, as if they were your own • Is not necessarily always intentional • Disrespects those whose ideas you are using

  5. General Rules* • If you use exact words, then quote • Do not make minor changes (that’s not enough) • If what you say is your words, but your ideas are not, cite * McKelvie, S. J., Black, S. L., Standing, L. G. (2004). Guide to academic honesty for the department of psychology. Lennoxville, Quebec, Canada: Bishop’s University.

  6. General Rules • At the undergraduate level, most of your ideas will likely be someone else’s (and you should cite them • If a paper seems to have too many citations, don’t worry • Too few is a concern

  7. General Rules • Always acknowledge secondary sources • Every statement of fact/idea not your own (and not common knowledge) must be cited

  8. General Rules • No one shall write or rewrite large portions of your work • Keep rough drafts, notes, sources, etc • The PSYC 380 Policy: • If you copy, you will fail • If you plagiarize, you will drop 1 letter grade

  9. In Conclusion • When you have the least amount of doubt ASK! • I don’t mind answering questions about citations, but I greatly mind having to look into possible plagiarism

  10. Citations • In the reference section: Joiner, T. E. Jr., Wingate, L. R.,Gencoz, T., & Faruk, G. (2005). Stress generation in depression: Three studies on its resilience, possible mechanism, and symptom specificity. Journal of Social and Clinical Psychology, 24, 236-253.

  11. Citations • In text: • Previous study in this area has failed to examine mechanisms for generated stress, though recent researchers have suggested anger and hostility be involved in this process (Joiner, Wingate, Gencoz & Gencoz, 2005).

  12. General Rules • If you cite it, it goes in references (If you do not, it does not) • See your textbook for details and examples • APA Style Manual

  13. Using PsycINFO

  14. Homework Activity: Identifying Citations • 2 pages of paper, citations removed • Where do you think citations are needed? • Place numbers in locations for citations
