Citing within a Paper
Why cite?
• Avoid breaking honor code
• Avoid meeting with academic standards committee
• Allow others to find and use information you found
Direct Quotes v. Paraphrasing
Direct quotes
Used to indicate language (i.e. wording) is same
Good when point is particularly well-stated
Rarely used in science
Author last name, date, and page
Paraphrasing
Used to indicate source of ideas
Language is not the same
Common in scientific articles
Author last name, date, and sometimes page
Use Quotes, Paraphrase, or Don’t Cite?
From an article on computational drug delivery by Dr. Haworth:
“An apparent difference between simulation methods that are broadly aimed
at drug discovery/design and those aimed at aspects of drug delivery is the
greater molecular focus in the former approaches” (Haworth 2006, p. 1271).
Haworth, IS. Computational drug delivery.
Adv Drug Deliv Rev. 2006 Nov 30; 58(12-13): 1271-3.

A Pharmacy Student Scenario
A Pharmacy Student Scenario (cont.)
Dr. Hay’s study reads:
“Intensive outpatient pharmacist consultation targeting high-risk
patients would improve survival and decrease hospitalization
rates” (Yuan, Hay, McCombs 2003, p. 45).
Yuan Y, Hay JW, McCombs JS. Effects of ambulatory-care
pharmacist consultation on mortality and hospitalization.
Am J Manag Care. 2003 Jan; 9(1): 45-56.
Into your report you type:
Survival would be improved and hospitalization rates would
decrease with intensive outpatient pharmacist consultation that
targets high-risk patients (Yuan, Hay, McCombs 2003).
This example is…

Not plagiarism since you changed the wording
and gave the authors credit in a citation

could include the idea in your paper
Plagiarism since you failed to include the page
number from Dr. Hay’s paper
Plagiarism since you did not put direct quotes
around the sentence
Plagiarism since your wording is too similar to
the authors’ sentence
