IMPORTANT NOTES CONCERNING CITATIONS AND SOURCE MATERIAL<\/p>\n
Why Proper Citations are Necessary<\/p>\n
Many students mistakenly believe that the sole purpose of proper citations and referencing is to safeguard against suspicion of academic dishonesty. In fact, a reader may wish simply to learn more about the issue in question, and citations make that possible. Students should understand that:<\/p>\n
Academic inquiry is an ongoing \u2018conversation\u2019 within a scholarly community. Proper references are the \u2018record\u2019 of that conversation.<\/p>\n
The advance of knowledge presupposes such a record. Proper references enable scholars to do research that builds upon, complements, or challenges views reached by other members of the community.<\/p>\n
A reference or a citation is therefore a claim that the author has read the material, understood it, and proposes either to build upon it or to contest its validity. An author who offers a citation or a reference is therefore claiming familiarity with the material cited or referenced.<\/p>\n
When Citations and References are Required<\/p>\n
While references always involve judgments, there are commonly accepted reasons to cite source material:<\/p>\n
To indicate the source of every direct quotation;<\/p>\n
To indicate the source of material that is being paraphrased or summarized;<\/p>\n
To acknowledge indebtedness to other authors for opinions, data and ideas that are not generally regarded as common knowledge;<\/p>\n
To lend authority to a claim that the reader may reasonably be expected to question;<\/p>\n
To support a statement for which there is either a single authority or about which there are conflicting perspectives;<\/p>\n
To inform the reader of where to find alternative perspectives, corroborative authorities, or more extensive discussion of the topic.<\/p>\n
PROPER DOCUMENTATION IS ABSOLUTELY ESSENTIAL IN SCHOLARLY WRITING. CARELESS AND INCORRECT DOCUMENTATION IS NOT ACCEPTABLE.<\/p>\n
The in-text system of author-date references that UTM POL uses by default comes from the 16th edition of the Chicago Manual of Style, which is available through the UTM Library website: <\/p>\n
https:\/\/guides.library.utoronto.ca\/c.php?g=251103&p=1741147<\/p>\n
Students should consult chapter 15, the basic features of which are summarized in a \u2018Quick Guide\u2019:<\/p>\n
https:\/\/www.chicagomanualofstyle.org\/tools_citationguide.html (last accessed July 31 July 2021).<\/p>\n
The \u2018Quick Guide\u2019 offers examples both of parenthetical citations and of the corresponding entries that occur in a reference list at the end of the essay. To provide additional commentary or information that would otherwise disrupt the main text of the essay, footnotes are used in the traditional manner. The reference list is arranged in alphabetical order by authors\u2019 surnames. If there is more than one title by the same author, they are arranged in chronological order. Extensive details concerning more complex issues are available in Chapter 15 of the Manual.<\/p>\n

A WARNING ABOUT PLAGIARISM<\/p>\n
Plagiarism is an academic offence with a severe penalty.<\/p>\n
It is essential that you understand what plagiarism is and that you do not commit it. In essence, it is the theft of the thoughts or words of others, without giving proper credit. You must put others\u2019 words in quotation marks and cite your source(s). You must give citations when using others\u2019 ideas, even if those ideas are paraphrased in your own words. Plagiarism is unacceptable in a university. What the university calls \u201cplagiarism\u201d, non-university institutions might call \u201cfraud\u201d.<\/p>\n
The University of Toronto provides a process that faculty members must initiate when they suspect a case of plagiarism. In the Department of Political Science, suspected evidence of plagiarism must be reported to the Chair; in most cases, the Chair passes the case on to the Dean.<\/p>\n
A faculty member may not mark an assignment or assess a penalty if he or she finds evidence of plagiarism \u2013 the matter must be reported. Penalties are assigned by the Chair, by the Dean or by the University of Toronto Tribunal.<\/p>\n
The following are some examples of plagiarism: <\/p>\n
1. Submitting as your own an assignment written by someone else.<\/p>\n
2. Quoting an author without indicating the source of the words.<\/p>\n
3. Using words, sentences, or paragraphs written by someone else and<\/p>\n
failing to place quotation marks around the material and reference the<\/p>\n
source and author. Using either quotation marks or reference<\/p>\n
alone is not sufficient. Both must be used!<\/p>\n
4. Adapting an author\u2019s ideas or theme and using it as your own without<\/p>\n
referencing the original source.<\/p>\n
5. Seeking assistance from a friend or family member in respect to work<\/p>\n
you claim as your own.<\/p>\n
Ignorance of the rules against plagiarism is not a defense; students are presumed to know what plagiarism is and how to avoid it. Students are especially reminded that material taken from the web must be quoted and cited in the same manner as if it came from a book or printed article.<\/p>\n
If you are not sure whether you have committed plagiarism, it is better to ask a faculty member or teaching assistant than risk discovery and be forced to accept an academic penalty.<\/p>\n
Plagiarism is cheating. It is considered a serious offence against intellectual honesty and intellectual property. Penalties can be severe, ranging from a mark of \u201c0\u201d for the assignment or test in question, up to and including expulsion from the university.<\/p>\n
