Research Ethics
Plagiarism - “...the wrongful appropriation or purloining, and publication as one’s own, the ideas or the expression of the ideas (literary, artistic, musical, mechanical, etc.) of an other.” – see Heterick Help Page, Also Student Code of Conduct
Copyright - intended to promote the arts and the sciences. It does this by providing authors of original literary, dramatic, musical, artistic, and certain other intellectual works the ability to control how their work is used by others.

Research Ethics
In other words, to plagiarize is to to copy someone else’s work without giving him/her credit.
Plagiarism is not always intentional. You can do it by accident, but it is still against the law. If you ever have a question about whether something is plagiarized, please ask!

Research Ethics
A citation is how you indicate where your information came from. There are four citation styles that are in frequent use at the
college level. They are:• MLA (Modern Language Association)• APA (American Psychological Association)• CMS (Chicago Manual of Style)• Turabian (Kate Turabian's A Manual for Writers of Term Papers, Theses,
and Dissertations, 6th ed., 1996 ) Each style has a way to do in-text citations, a way to do a
bibliography, and a way to do footnotes and endnotes. Always confirm with each instructor the style required. You need to learn how to do citations, etc., but there is a citation
software management tool available to all ONU students, faculty and staff…

You can cut and paste from most any source, so just fill in all the lines you can. ISSN is the unique number every periodical is assigned so it’s great if you can include that in your request. Be sure to only use the print ISSN, not the on-line ISSN.
