Types of PlagiarismGhost writer
The writer turns in another’s work, word-for-word, as his or her own
The PhotocopyThe writer copies significant portions of text straight
from a single source, without alterationThe potluck paper
Although the writer has retained the essential content of the source, he or she has altered the paper’s appearance slightly by changing key words and phrases.
13/7/2011
Source Cited (but still Plagiarized)
The forgotten footnoteThe Misinformer
The writer provides inaccurate information regarding the sources, making it impossible to find them.
13/7/2011
Source Cited (but still Plagiarized)
The too-perfect paraphraseThe writer properly cites a source, but neglects to put in
quotation marks text that has been copied word-for-word, or close to it. Although attributing the basic ideas to the source, the writer is falsely claiming original presentation and interpretation of the information.
The Resourceful CiterThe writer properly cites all sources, paraphrasing and
using quotations appropriately. The catch? The paper contains almost no original work! It is sometimes difficult to spot this form of plagiarism because it looks like any other well-researched document.
13/7/2011
Source Cited (but still Plagiarized)
The perfect crimeIn this case, the writer properly quotes and
cites sources in some places, but goes on to paraphrase other arguments from those sources without citation. This way, the writer tries to pass off the paraphrased material as his or her own analysis of the cited material.

HOW TO WRITE THE REFERENCE Paraphrasing text
- Khandwalla (2002) singles out courage – courage to take risks, courage to deal with the emotions of co-workers and courage to stand up for one’s values and beliefs as the most important requirement for a manager interested in
initiating and managing change in his organisation.
Difference: quote and own wordingKhandwalla (2002) points out that few companies have courage as a core competency. There are several other works says the same. Khandwalla (2002) also points out that few companies have courage as a core competency.

HOW TO WRITE THE REFERENCE Demonstrating awareness of other works
- Several authors (e.g. Khandwalla 2002; Peter 2002) have emphasized the need for courage, especially courage to take risk in managers who pursue innovation and change.
- Courage, especially courage to take risk in managers who peruses innovation and change in your organisation (see
Khandwalla 2002; Peter 2002).- As Khandwalla (2002) and Parel (2002) argue that
managers who pursue innovation and change ought of have the courage to take risks, the model proposed here incorporates
courage as a potentially relevant factor influencing the organisational change process.
- As Khandwalla (2002) suggests that courage to take risks is important for managers pursuing change, we feel that it was appropriate to include it as one of the characteristics of
managers in our proposed model
