5. definition of plagiarism
"Submitting as one's own work, irrespective
of intent to deceive, that which derives in
part or in its entirety from the work of
others without due acknowledgement. It is
both poor scholarship and a breach of
academic integrity."
19. Harvard Referencing Style
Harvard Style is the preferred referencing style at CJBS.
Example for a book:
Direct quote in your text:
“When in doubt, go to the library” (Rowling, 1998, p. 189).
Reference in bibliography:
Rowling, J.K. (1998) Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets.
London: Bloomsbury.

Andrew: Here are examples of plagiarism that have actually been submitted and caught at Cambridge.
Andrew: The text in red was taken out of a Euromonitor report on travel retailing in Spain. The text in black is the only original sentence in the report.
Andrew: This examples leans more towards the unintentional plagiarism. In the first paragraph, although the writer mentions Heifetz they failed to include an in-text citation at the end of the sentence.
The second paragraph forgot to include quotation marks and a citation (which includes the page number that the quotes were taken from).
The third paragraph uses ideas originating from another person which were also not cited.

Andrew: Why do we bother telling you all this? What is the purpose of referencing? Your work will always be informed by others and even if its in a very small way, your work will go on to inform future generations. Correct referencing allows anyone else to follow your train of thought to see how you reached your conclusions. It validates your work and adds credibility to your arguments.
