SCIENTIFIC PUBLICATIONSCIENTIFIC PUBLICATION **

A scientific publication aims to share and disseminate the knowledge produced and advanced through research which as a result promotes the culmination of knowledge and science.

PLAGIARISM:PLAGIARISM:

“PLAGIARISM is using, presenting or submission of someone else’s ideas or phrasing without clearly acknowledging the source of that information (that is without any citation or credits) and representing those ideas or phrasing as our own, either on purpose or through carelessness.”

PLAGIARISMPLAGIARISM::

One form is a word-to-word copying of someone else’s work, in whole or in part, without acknowledgment or with improper citing (without quatations”...”).


PLAGIARISMPLAGIARISM:: A second form of plagiarism is the paraphrasing of the structure and language of another’s person’s work, changing a few words of another’s composition, omitting a few sentences or changing the order. If such borrowing or paraphrase is ever necessary, the source must be indicated by footnotes.


PLAGIARISMPLAGIARISM:: Another form of plagiarism

consists of writing a paper based solely on the ideas of another. Even though the language is not the same, if thinking is clearly not your own, then you have committed plagiarism.


Examples of Examples of PPlagiarismlagiarism::Original in the source: “Two fundamentally different types of

models of anomalous mental phenomena have been developed: those that attempt to order and structure the raw observations in experiments (i.e., phenomenological model) and those that attempt to explain these phenomena in terms of modifications to existing physical theories (i.e., fundamental models).” *

*May, Utts & Spottiswoode, 1995: 19722.04.23 GSNAS, METU, Canan Özgen 120

How it looks in student paper (worse case): There are two fundamentally different

models of anomalous mental phenomena developed: those that attempt to order and structure the raw observations in experiments (i.e., phenomenological model) and those that attempt to explain these phenomena in terms of modifications to existing physical theories (i.e., fundamental models). These two models play a role in differentiating the people’s behaviour patterns.


Examples of Examples of PPlagiarismlagiarism::

How it looks in student paper (less worse case):

There are two fundamentally different models of anomalous mental phenomena developed: those that attempt to order and structure the raw observations in experiments (i.e., phenomenological model) and those that attempt to explain these phenomena in terms of modifications to existing physical theories (i.e., fundamental models*). These two models play a role in differentiating the people’s behaviour patterns.

* May, Utts & Spottiswoode, 1995: 19722.04.23 GSNAS, METU, Canan Özgen 122


Sample Correct version: “Two fundamentally different types of

models of anomalous mental phenomena have been developed: those that attempt to order and structure the raw observations in experiments (i.e., phenomenological model) and those that attempt to explain these phenomena in terms of modifications to existing physical theories (i.e., fundamental models)”(May, Utts & Spottiswoode, 1995: 197). These two models play a role in differentiating the people’s behaviour patterns.



Lifting small parts and scattering them:

How it looks in the student paper: Two different types of models of

anomalous mental phenomena have been developed: phenomenological model and fundamental models. These two models play a role in differentiating the people’s behaviour patterns.



Sample correct version:May, et al. (1995) state that two

models have been formed for anomalous mental phenomena, which are “phenomenological model” and “fundamental model”. These two models play a role in differentiating the people’s behaviour patterns.

SSUGGESTIONS FOR UGGESTIONS FOR AVOIDING PLAGIARISM :AVOIDING PLAGIARISM :

Consult your instructor/supervisor Learn about the accepted referencing style

in your department/faculty Start early When reading, make notes and references

all the time Keep a notebook for your own ideas Always make a reference when you take

information from a source. Always make a reference when you

paraphrase or summarise Cite any type of source you use .

http://www.turnitin.com/

TURNITIN is used at 126 countries and 10,000

institutions .


Why is TURNITIN used?

To prevent plagiarism, To encourage proper research

and citation methods.


Use of TURNITIN at Graduate School of Natural

and Applied Sciences It is decided by the Graduate School of

Natural and Applied Sciences (GSNAS) to allow for the use of TURNITIN software for all the graduate students in the preparation of their thesis work in order to prevent plagiarism.

It is used starting from March 15th 2010.22.04.23 GSNAS, METU, Canan Özgen 131

TURNITIN at Graduate School of Natural and Applied

Sciences

Students who bring the "Thesis Exam Official Report Form" to GSNAS have to check their thesis with the TURNITIN software to get the originality report before they bound their corrected thesis.


How to access the TURNITIN software?

After the student's "Thesis Exam Official Report Form" reaches the Institute, the student will be added to the student list in the software and their Class ID and Enrollment Password will be posted to the user via official student metumail (i.e. [email protected]).

The password will be valid until their submission of the thesis to the Institute.


What should be the value of Similarity Index in the

Originality Report?

The originality report should show that similarity is less less

than 2200%.%.((after Marchafter March 201 20133))


What Turnitin Searches ?

Instructors or other academic staff can examine the existence of any possible elements of plagiarism by uploading their or their students' papers/homework to TURNITIN web site.

This is done by a special algorithm of TURNITIN software which uses the following sources for comparison:

current or archived web pages ( more than 5 billion pages indexed),

online commercial and scientific journal databases (millions of published works from periodicals & journals ),

online and printed books, millions of papers and homework previously

uploaded to TURNITIN by its users (since 1996).
