Week 2

Which of the following examples from the Craft of Research is considered plagiarism by its authors?

1. Quoting, paraphrasing or summarizing a source but failing to cite it 2. Borrowing ideas or methods from a source without citing it 3. Including a direct quote from a source with a citation but failing to put quotation marks around it. 4. paraphrasing and citing a source but doing a poor Jon of it so that most of the original words are still the same.

According to the APA citation system, which type of in-text citation would be required following this passage? Hollingshead was the first researcher to call attention to the growing epidemic of Chinchilla rustling in Peru and Chile, calling for a global effort to document the origins of all pet and hobby sales of these cute, but also important members of their native ecosystems [what goes here?].

A) (Hollingshead, 2003, p. 21 B) (Hollingshead) C) (2003, p.21)* D) (p 21)

A limitation of Zotero and BMS like it is that it can handle websites, but does not support the citing of traditional offline sources like books and magazines. Ture/ False

False Zotero can cite nearly any type of source. In a few rare cases it might not work well, but there are ready-made templates for the vast majority of commonly-encountered types of sources - both traditional print and electronic. Any good BMS should provide the same level of support.

The notes that one would take during a course to prepare for a final exam are very similar to the notes one would take during a research process to prepare for writing a research report.

False: "necessity of recording the source of all the information to be used later in attributing the contributions f others in the written report.

TRUE/FALSE: Evernote is an example of a Bibliographic Management Software system that is designed primarily to let users store, format, and retrieve bibliographic information for their references.

False: its a standard-note taking software program with some nice features.

What is suggested as a good three-word answer to the question, "what can I do to avoid accidentally plagiarizing the work of another?" Correct!

Take great notes when students fail to include proper citations to information during the initial point of contact with the work and ideas of others, they are opening themselves up to the risk that this vital action will also be forgotten or overlooked later, especially when writing under time pressure due to a deadline

The act of recalling from where or how you know something, or how to find that information again (rather than recalling the information itself), is labelled ___________.

Transitive memory Research notes very often function as an assist to transactive memory - the serve to remind us of where we found a particular idea, fact, or piece of information when we refer to it at a later date. They may also help lead us back to the right source quickly if we need to review it further.

TRUE/FALSE: Depending on which item type you select (book chapter, website, etc.), Zotero will show you a customized set of fields appropriate for citing a resource of that type (example: it will include a box for the URL if you select "Website" as the document type).

Ture

TRUE/FALSE: One major reason that we use Zotero in our class rather than other BMS is that it is free to sign up while many other BMS programs have fees.

Ture

TRUE/FALSE: The ZOT in the name Zotero is a coincidence and has nothing to do with UC Irvine's own system of ZOT mail, ZOT portal, etc.

Ture

TRUE/FALSE: When you have created an online library of references using Zotero, you can later use a search feature to quickly find specific references by keyword or tag

Ture

TRUE/FALSE: Including the date and location where you heard a talk as part of your notes is one way to facilitate your transactive memory (the ability to remember where information is stored) because it provides additional memory cues or contex

Ture:

With correct information supplied, Zotero can automatically produce a complete works cited page or similar references list that conforms to the requirements of the APA citation system. True/ false

Ture:

TRUE/FALSE: Evernote provides users with most of the basic formatting and organizational tools available in a standard Word Processing program (examples: change fonts, change the color of text, indent, bold, italicize, and on).

Ture: Most of the same basic formatting tools available in a standard word processing program are available to be used to enhance the readability of your notes using Evernote.

Which of the following is a reason to learn the valuable skill of paraphrasing?

You can adjust the language of a passage to match the rest of your paper while keeping the important information You can avoid "over-quoting" - making your paper a string of other people's words rather than your own You will understand the original material better if you take the time to put it into your own word You can avoid many of the most common forms of "accidental" plagiarism by paraphrasing to begin with

Booth et al. (2016) would label the general starting place for your research report _______.

a research topic

One helpful suggestion that is offered to better understand the mindset of researchers when taking notes is to think like _____________ (rather than like a student).

an archivist: to plan ahead and assume that the notes you are taking now are going to be valuable far into the future, it also means adding information to the notes that will assist you along into the future when you may have long-since forgotten everything about the original article except what is included in your notes.

According to Booth et al. (2016) the right time to imagine your ideal, perspective reader and think about the role you want to assume as a writer is ________. Correct!

before you write the first word of your first draft.

Which term below best describes the APA style citation system?

it is an author-date style

Which of the following is NOT an available method for sharing notes and other files created using Evernote? (if it was not at all mentioned in the lab videos and materials in the lab instructions, you can assume it is not an option)

link Evernote and Zotero account and share notes with other Zotero users.

While judging the adequacy of paraphrase

pay special attention to the fact that the major key phrases and ideas are put into totally different language. For instance, "if they can match your words or phrasing with those of your source" became "when readers see a word-for-word similarity between a paraphrase and a source" - quite a different way of putting the idea.

One of the most common and best suggestions for good paraphrasing is to read the passage you are interested in and then ________________________________.

put the actual text out of sight before attempting to paraphrase it. Because you tend to remember the ideas and concepts and no the key words or phrase. try waiting for 30 seconds and then attempt it.
