Documenting Sources 291 ■ ■ ■ For Class and Discussion  Avoiding Plagiarism Reread the original article from the American Council on Science and Health (page 282) and Writer 3’s use of this source in her paragraph about how nondietary habits may explain why vegetarians are healthier than nonvegetarians (page 283) Then read the paragraph below by Writer 4, who makes the same argument as Writer 3 but crosses the line from ethical to nonethical use of sources Why might Writer be accused of plagiarism? Writer 4’s Argument (Example of Plagiarism) According to the American Council on Science and Health, the health of vegetarians may be better than that of nonvegetarians partly because of nondietary factors People who eat only vegetables tend to be very conscious of their health They exercise regularly, avoid getting fat, and don’t smoke Scientists who examined the data may not have adequately controlled for these nondietary effects Also in Western countries most vegetarians are more affluent than nonvegetarians and thus have better living conditions and more access to medical care Working in small groups or as a whole class, respond to the following questions How does this passage cross the line into plagiarism? The writer of this passage might say, “How can this be plagiarism? I cited my source.” How would you explain the problem to this writer? Psychologically or cognitively, what may have caused Writer to misuse the source? How might this writer’s note-taking process or composing process have differed from that of Writer on page 283? In other words, what happened to get this writer into trouble? ■■■ Citing Sources in Your Text in MLA Style When academic writers cite sources, they use the conventions appropriate to their discipline In this section, we will explain briefly the MLA style used in the humanities (We explain the APA system used in the social sciences later in this appendix.) Our discussion of MLA style and our citation examples are based on the new seventh edition of the MLA Handbook for Writers of Research Papers, published in 2009, and used by undergraduates In the MLA system of in-text citation, you place the author’s last name and the page number of the cited source in parentheses, usually at the end of the material you wish to cite (If the author’s name is mentioned in a preceding attributive tag, such as “according to Karnow” or “Karnow says,” only the page number is placed in parentheses.) In the following examples, note that the citation precedes the period If you are citing a quotation, the parenthetical citation follows the quotation mark but precedes the final period The Spanish tried to reduce the status of Filipina women who had been able to business, get divorced, and sometimes become village chiefs ( Karnow   41 ) According to  Karnow , the Spanish tried to reduce the status of Filipina women who had been able to business, get divorced, and sometimes become village chiefs ( 41 ) “And, to this day,”  Karnow  continues, “women play a decisive role in Filipino families” ( 41 ) 292 APPENDIX 2    A Concise Guide to Evaluating, Using, and Documenting Sources A reader who wishes to look up the source will find the bibliographic information in the Works Cited section by looking for the entry under “Karnow.” If more than one work by Karnow was used in the paper, the writer would also include an abbreviated title of the book or article following Karnow’s name in the in-text citation ( Karnow , In Our Image  41 ) When citing sources and page numbers, you should know about two special cases: Citing from an Indirect Source  Occasionally you may wish to use a quotation that you have seen cited in one of your sources You read Jones, who has a nice quotation from Smith, and you want to use Smith’s quotation To so, quote Smith, but then cite Jones in your text preceded by the terms “qtd in.” List only Jones in your “Works Cited.” According to the ex-mayor of Gotham City, Rupert Smith, “the rate of crime was at an all-time low” during his term of office (qtd in Jones 25) Citing a Work without Page Numbers  If the work you are citing in your paper has no page numbers but does have numbered paragraphs, use par or pars and give the number of the paragraph(s): (Helvarg, par 10) If the source has neither page nor paragraph numbers, as is typical of many Web sources in HTML format, not give any numbers in the in-text citation but cite the source in its entirety (Do not use the page numbers from an HTML printout because they will not be consistent from printer to printer.) Documenting Sources in a “Works Cited” List (MLA) In the MLA system, you place a complete bibliography, titled “Works Cited,” at the end of the paper The list includes all the sources that you mention in your paper However, it does not include works you read but did not use Entries in the Works Cited follow these general guidelines: ■ ■ ■ Entries are arranged alphabetically by author, or by title if there is no author Entries must include the publication medium of the source you consulted, for ­example: Print, Web, DVD, Performance, Oil on canvas, and so on If there is more than one entry by the same author, the second and subsequent entries begin with three hyphens followed by a period and the title Smith, Roberta Body Image in Non-Western Cultures London: Bonanza, 1999 Print — Body

Cited” page in MLA style, see the last page of Ivan Snook’s researched argument (p 268) Table A2.7 provides MLA models for the most common kinds of citations This table will help you distinguish the

and Documenting Sources Citing Sources in Your Text in APA Style Our discussion of APA style is based on the Publication Manual of the American Psychological Association, 6th ed (2010) To cite sources in the body of your paper in the APA system, you include the year of the source and you place a “p.” or “pp.” before the page number The author’s last name, date, and page numbers are separated by commas When the author is mentioned in an attributive tag, place only the date and page number in parentheses, usually directly after the author’s name The Spanish tried to reduce the status of Filipina women who had been able to business, get divorced, and sometimes become village chiefs (Karnow, 1989, p 41) According to Karnow (1989, p 41), the Spanish tried to reduce the status of Filipina women who had been able to business, get divorced, and sometimes become village chiefs If your readers wish to follow up on this source, they will look for “Karnow” in the References section at the end of the essay If Karnow had more than one entry in the References section, they would look for the 1989 source If Karnow had published more than one work in 1989, you would add a lowercase “a” to the date of the first one and a lowercase “b” to the date of the second one Your in-text parenthetical citation would then be either (Karnow, 1989a) or (Karnow, 1989b) When you quote or use data from an indirect source, in your parenthetical citation use “as cited in” rather than the MLA’s “qtd in.” According to the ex-mayor of Gotham City, Rupert Smith, “the rate of crime was at an alltime low” during his term of office (as cited in Jones, 1995, p 25) Documenting Sources in a “References” List (APA) The APA system includes a complete bibliography, called “References,” at the end of the paper Entries are listed alphabetically, with a hanging indentation If you list more than one item for an author, repeat the author’s name each time and arrange the items in chronological order beginning with the earliest If two works appeared in the same year, arrange them alphabetically, adding an “a” and a “b” after the year for purposes of in-text citation Here is a hypothetical illustration: Smith, R (1995) Body image in Western cultures, 1750–present London, England: Bonanza Press Smith, R (1999a) Body image in non-Western cultures London, England: Bonanza Press Smith, R
