SUBJECT - Plagiarism on the web

| Anthea Tillyer, e-mail: ATICC@CUNYVM.CUNY.EDU wrote on the web, giving some links to very interesting
articles and projects. |
Anthea Tillyer's letter: The Internet is a great resources for locating information. But it brings
with it the obligation to identify these sources when using them. A RESOURCE FOR STUDENTS is "Plagiarism: What It is and How to Recognize and Avoid It" http://www.indiana.edu/~wts/wts/plagiarism.html). It includes examples of acceptable and unacceptable paraphrases as well as strategies they could employ to avoid plagiarism. RESOURCES FOR TEACHERS: "An Antidote to Plagiarism" (http://ousd.k12.ca.us/~codypren/antidote.html) has a lesson and activity that will show grade 5-10 students how to write a research paper without copying. "Documenting Electronic and Traditional Sources: A Lesson in Research" (http://www.nyit.edu/0695/slessons/doc.html ) is a four week teaching unit in which middle/junior high students learn how to conduct internet searches and to cite their findings properly. "Writing: Plagiarism Advice for Lessons" (http://henson.austin.apple.com/edres/ellesson/elem-writplagerism.shtml) offers teachers 18 suggestions they could adopt to teach students not to plagiarize. "Cut-and-Paste Plagiarism: Preventing, Detecting and Tracking Online Plagiarism" (http://alexia.lis.uiuc.edu/~janicke/plagiary.htm) is an online article for educators that defines plagiarism, offers prevention suggestions, gives detective tips, and describes ways to track it down. Included within the article is a list of some of the sources of plagiarized papers so that you can become familiar with them. The author suggests that one way of detecting a plagiarized paper is to identify unusual keywords or unique phrases in the paper and then conduct a web search for those words through a large search engine. The online article "Educators Fighting a Web of Deceit" (http://computernewsdaily.com/147_052797_130001_8138.html) describes the increase in using the web to acquire plagiarized papers. It includes a link to a college librarian offering a free list of such sites to other educators so that they can become familiar with the quality of papers offered. There are also tips on how to create papers that can't be easily completed through plagiarism. Another source of help is "The Instructor's Guide to Internet Plagiarism" (http://www.carleton.ca/~gsenecha/guide/ ) which can help instructors determine if a paper has been acquired from one of the essay paper mills. Be sure to see the section "Dead Giveaways" for clues on detecting such papers.
