Studying in the US: How to Avoid Being Accused of Plagiarism

We explain this intellectual offense（智力上的冒犯） in week 30 of our Foreign Student Series. Transcript of radio broadcast: 15 April 2009

This is the VOA Special English Education Report.

Plagiarism （剽窃）is the act of representing another person's words or ideas as your own（represent… as…把…讲述为…）. The offense(罪过) may be as small as a sentence copied from a book. Or it may be as extensive （范围广的）as a whole paper copied -- or bought -- from somebody else.

Intellectual dishonesty（学术欺诈） is nothing new. The only difference now is that the Internet has made it much simpler to steal other people's work. Yet the same technology that makes it easy to find information to copy also makes it easier to

identify plagiarism.（然而，这项技术既然能让找材料抄变简单，也能让鉴定抄袭变得更简单）

Teachers can use online services（在线服务） that compare papers to thousands of others to search for copied work（把论文和成千上万的其他材料相比照查找出抄袭的部分）. The teacher gets a report on any passages that are similar enough to suspect plagiarism（得到一份报告，显示相似程度足以怀疑剽窃的章节）. These services are widely used（广泛运用）. Turnitin.com, for example, says it is used in more than one hundred countries and examines more than one hundred thirty thousand papers a day. Professional writers （职业作家）who plagiarize can be taken to civil court （带到民事法庭）and ordered to pay damages（赔偿损失）. In schools, the punishment for cheating（抄袭） could be a failing grade（不及格的分数） on the paper or in the course（在这门课程上）. Some schools expel（开除） plagiarists for a term; others, for a full academic year（一学年）. Some degrees have even been withdrawn （有些学位被收回）after a school later found that a student had plagiarized.

Accidental（偶然的） plagiarism can sometimes result from cultural differences. At Indiana University in Bloomington, sixty percent of students who use the Office of Writing Tutorial Services are non-native English speakers. The director, Joanne Vogt, says some have no idea that copying from published works is considered wrong. She says students from China, for example, may think they are insulting readers if they credit（归功于；注明） other sources. They believe that educated readers should


already know where the information came from.（如果注明出处就等于是侮辱了读者，因为有文化的读者早应该知道出处）

The more you give credit, the less you risk accusations of plagiarism.（你注明出处的地方越多，受到剽窃指责的风险就越小） Any sentences taken directly from a source should appear inside quotation marks（引号）. And even if you put those sentences into your own words（即使你用你自己的话表述了）, you should still give credit to （注明）where you got the information.

And that's the VOA Special English Education Report, written by Nancy Steinbach. More about plagiarism next week. We will also discuss other rules for academic writing in the United States. Earlier reports in our Foreign Student Series are at voaspecialenglish.com -- along with links to some writing resources at American universities. I'm Steve Ember.
