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.
11. 11
Research Ethics
• In other words, to plagiarize is 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 1
a
question about whether something is
plagiarized, please ask!
1. How not to plagiarize your report -- Shannon Hosier Mersand
12. 12
Research Ethics
How may I avoid plagiarizing?2
• Identify any information that would not be considered
common knowledge
• Unless in direct quotes, make sure you paraphrase
what the original author said
• Use a quote if you can’t think of a way to paraphrase
the information
• always, Always, ALWAYS cite the source of any
information in your paper which is not considered
common knowledge. If you are unsure if something is
common knowledge, cite it!
2 How not to plagiarize your report -- Shannon Hosier Mersand

Research Ethics

So what is common knowledge
Things that are found in a number of places, and are
likely to be known by a large number of people.
Examples:
– The sky is blue
– Grass is usually green
– George Washington was the 1st president of the United States

Research Ethics
What does paraphrase mean?
Main Entry: 1para·phrase
1 : a restatement of a text, passage, or
work giving the meaning in another form
From Merriam-Webster’s Online Dictionary http://www.m-w.com
15. 15
Research Ethics
What does it mean to put something
in my own words?
4
When you paraphrase something, it is different
than putting it in your own words. When you
put something in your own words, you are
making a statement about the information you
have found, rather than just restating the
information. Usually there is an opinion of
some sort in something “in your own words”
4 How not to plagiarize your report -- Shannon Hosier Mersand
16. 16
Research Ethics
What is a quote?
• Main Entry: 1quote
1 a : to speak or write (a passage) from
another usually with credit
acknowledgment b : to repeat a
passage from, especially in
substantiation or illustration
From Merriam-Webster’s Online Dictionary http://www.m-w.com
17. 17
Research Ethics
What is a citation?
• 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…

Research Ethics
When should I cite my sources?
5
• Whenever you use information that is not
common knowledge
• Whenever you use information that you did
not know before doing the research
• Whenever you quote another person’s ideas
or word, whether they are written or spoken
• Whenever you paraphrase another person’s
written or spoken words or ideas

– Catalogs
– Databases
– Internet
• Construct search strategy
• Execute/ refine search strategy
22. Research Strategy
•Start big doing background

23. • Primary
Primary v. Secondary
• Secondary
• Secondary Sources analyze or
interpret an historical event or
artistic work. Secondary sources
often base their theories and
arguments on the direct evidence
found in primary sources. A
secondary work for a subject is
one that discusses the subject but
is written after the time
contemporary with it.
• In the humanities, a
primary source could be
defined as something that
was created either during
the time period being
studied or afterward by
individuals reflecting on
their involvement in the
events of that time.

information.
•Accuracy *The reliability of the
information.
•Purpose/Objectivity *The possible bias
present in the information.
*The CRAAP acronym and descriptions are from Meriam Library at

•Aren’t evil
•Can prove valuable
•Can’t be used as a source
•Turn to the databases for
source materials

33. What is it?
• A Discovery Layer sits on top of
all the library resources and
allows users to access a majority
of the information available on
one topic with one search.
• Think of it as the roof on a house.
35. Why did we get it?
• Natural language searching
• Encourage better or more
sophisticated searching
• Search across all local
content
• Quicker results
36. What it isn’t
• A replacement for the current catalog
• A ready made index to all databases
content
• The cure for getting people to use the
catalog or the way to get people to
use the rest of your library website
• Googlization of library resources,
although it may seem like this to
some
37. Caveats
• Does not bring up results from all
resources we have
available
• Learning curve
• Truly not the best for all research
questions
38. What is included?
• POLAR
• Article-level searching for all EBSCO
databases
• Article-level searching for a variety of
other databases: JSTOR, Hoover’s,
AccessPharmacy, etc.
• Title-level searching for most other
databases: IEEE, CIAO, Proquest
Nursing & Allied Health
• OhioLink central catalog
44. Things to Remember
• Facets are your Friend: After you
search, limit your results to what
you really want
• A tool not a solution: This is not the
solution to everything
• Ask the librarians for help
• There will still be some small
changes coming
48. Find a Book -- POLAR
•Looks in several locations (usually
subject, article title, abstracts or
contents)
•Does not require an exact match
•Generates comparatively large
number of hits (not precise)
•Good if you are not familiar with
terminology

Editor's Notes
So, technically the discovery layer is really just the user interface for searching (almost) all of our stuff at once: books, articles, and whatever else we decide to put in there. The ‘central index’ refers to that stuff.
Single search for local, open access and subscription collections.
Should provide quick natural language searching, no more trying to figure out how librarians and each database describes something
People get frustrated with controlled vocabulary so we’re trying to accommodate how we know people search
Pete Coco says it best when he calls it “frictionless searching”
“googley familiarity” Pete Coco
We may decide not to include some things
Some vendors don’t play nice with others
Some students may still struggle with relevancy
