Issues of Ethics Academic Integrity: Ivy Tech Community College is committed to academic integrity in all its practices. Cheating on papers, tests, or other academic works is a violation of College rules. No student shall engage in behavior that, in the judgment of the instructor of the class, may be construed as cheating. This may include, but is not limited to, plagiarism or other forms of academic dishonesty such as the acquisition without permission of tests or other academic materials and/or distribution of these materials and other academic work. This includes students who aid and abet, as well as those who attempt such behavior. Cases of student misconduct and/or lack of academic integrity are to be referred to the chief academic officer or chief student affairs officer. A student who violates the rules and regulations of the College may be subject to disciplinary actions which may include, but not limited to, the following: verbal reprimand; restitution for damages; restriction of privileges; failure of the assignment or course; withdrawal from a course, program or the College for the remainder of the semester or term; suspension from the College; dismissal from the College; student may appeal for reinstatement. Plagiarism: Much of your college education will involve learning what others have written and then integrating those ideas into your own thinking; however, in academic writing any ideas or words not credited to another are assumed to be those of the author. Plagiarism occurs when you fail to give credit for ideas not original to you. What must be acknowledged? Any direct quotation. The exact words quoted must be placed in quotation marks. Paraphrases and summaries of others ideas and/or words which provide background information, present facts not commonly known, and explain various positions on your topic. If an author presents an arguable assertion that may or may not be true, cite the source. Statistics, charts, tables, and graphs from any source. Credit all graphic material even if you create the graph. The College considers the purchase of research papers or the employment of a person or agency to prepare such papers to be plagiarism. In addition, though you may get help in writing your paper, there are limits to the amount of help you can honestly receive. Others may read your paper and point out weaknesses, but they must not rewrite the paper for you. A problem can also occur if you submit the same paper for more than one course. Discuss the assignment with your current instructor. Citing Sources APA Style (December 2011) Page 3

APA Style: References and In-Text Citations In-Text Citation Format (citing a source within your paper) APA If the author is named in the signal phrase, include the year of publication in parentheses and a page reference at the end to refer to a specific passage: According to Smithson (1999), a computer expert and university professor, People, not computers, will create Millennium Mania (p. 23). If the author is unnamed in the sentence, provide the name, date and page number at the end: One computer expert and university professor claims people, not computers, will create Millennium Mania (Smithson, 1999, p. 23). Basic References Formats At the end of your paper, list the cited sources using a style and format chosen by your instructor. The APA (American Psychological Association) style refers to this list as References. Use these basic citation forms as a guideline, and then examine the citation examples that follow. If your source does not provide a particular piece of information, skip it and move on to the next piece of your citation. Remember, too, that you cite sources to give credit to their authors and to provide your readers with enough information to locate that source for further consideration. Refer to pages 180-215 of the APA handbook (6 th ed.). APA References Format (Book) Author, A. (Publication date). Title of work. City: Publisher. APA References Format (Periodical) Author, A. (Year). Title of article. Title of Periodical, xx, pp-pp. doi:xxxxxxxxxx If no doi (digital object identifier) number is available and the article was retrieved online, include the homepage URL for the journal, newspaper or magazine. Retrieved from http://www. General Notes American Psychological Association (APA) APA requires in-text citations (author s last name, year, and page) for quotations; when paraphrasing or referring to an idea contained in another work, authors are encouraged to provide a reference location (page or number). APA alphabetizes sources on a double-spaced References page. APA places the author and the date of publication at the beginning of the entry. APA does not capitalize all words in book and article titles but does capitalize titles of magazines and journals. APA initializes the authors first names. APA does not underline, italicize or put quotes around the titles of shorter works such as found in journal or magazine articles. Indent all lines after the first line of a citation. This is called a hanging indentation. APA does not abbreviate months. Citing Sources APA Style (December 2011) Page 4
