00:00:12.710 --> 00:00:14.720
Plagiarism is an issue
which has its roots

3
00:00:14.720 --> 00:00:17.080
in the heart of academic study.

4
00:00:17.080 --> 00:00:19.710
In the academic world,
what you write essentially

5
00:00:19.710 --> 00:00:22.060
defines who you are.

6
00:00:22.060 --> 00:00:24.740
What is written by an
academic is like currency.

7
00:00:24.740 --> 00:00:27.590
Promotion, recognition,
financial support

8
00:00:27.590 --> 00:00:30.350
all develop from what you write.

9
00:00:30.350 --> 00:00:33.770
So if you take
someone else's work

10
00:00:33.770 --> 00:00:35.520
and try to pass it
off as your own,

11
00:00:35.520 --> 00:00:38.770
whether or not you mean to,
this, in the academic world,

12
00:00:38.770 --> 00:00:39.732
is theft.

14
00:00:44.700 --> 00:00:46.480
It isn't just the words.

15
00:00:46.480 --> 00:00:49.120
It also matters if you
take someone's ideas

16
00:00:49.120 --> 00:00:51.344
and do not acknowledge
where they come from.

17
00:00:51.344 --> 00:00:52.885
So anyone reading
what you've written

18
00:00:52.885 --> 00:00:55.830
will interpret those
ideas to be yours.

19
00:00:55.830 --> 00:00:58.570
This is also theft.

20
00:00:58.570 --> 00:01:00.530
There might be an
image or a diagram

21
00:01:00.530 --> 00:01:03.160
you wish to use to
support your argument.

22
00:01:03.160 --> 00:01:06.610
But if you do not acknowledge
the author of this material,

23
00:01:06.610 --> 00:01:09.340
then the reader will
assume that it is yours.

24
00:01:09.340 --> 00:01:10.230
This too is theft.

26
00:01:14.070 --> 00:01:17.310
So it's very important when
you're using images, ideas,

27
00:01:17.310 --> 00:01:20.030
words, that originate
from somewhere else

28
00:01:20.030 --> 00:01:23.160
that you acknowledge
where these come from.

29
00:01:23.160 --> 00:01:26.420
It's really important to let
the reader know who said it

30
00:01:26.420 --> 00:01:27.520
and when they said it.

31
00:01:27.520 --> 00:01:30.810
And this is what forms
the basis of referencing.

32
00:01:30.810 --> 00:01:34.110
So you make it extremely clear
to the reader which ideas

33
00:01:34.110 --> 00:01:38.010
are yours and which originate
from somewhere else.
