These sources were present during an experience or time period and offer an inside view of a particular event.” Secondary Sources What are they? As Princeton Library states: “A secondary source interprets and analyzes primary sources. These sources are one or more steps removed from the event. Secondary sources may have pictures, quotes or graphics of primary sources in them.

26 Plagiarism 1 What is plagiarism? Plagiarism can be slightly different depending on who you ask, but it always involves using information from a source without referencing that source.

27 Plagiarism 2 According to Plagiarism.org (http://www.plagiarism.org/) the complex definition of plagiarism includes:http://www.plagiarism.org/ turning in someone else's work as your own copying words or ideas from someone else without giving credit failing to put a quotation in quotation marks giving incorrect information about the source of a quotation changing words but copying the sentence structure of a source without giving credit copying so many words or ideas from a source that it makes up the majority of your work, whether you give credit or not (see our section on "fair use" rules)

28 Plagiarism 3 There are many, many problems with plagiarizing work. Here are a few implications and related ideas centered around plagiarism and information literacy in Cambodia:  Student researchers who plagiarize may do so because it requires less effort.  Student researchers may not even know about plagiarism because it is not taught or not strictly enforced inside the classroom.  Plagiarism is not only a negative action. In many ways it can be a subconscious behavior, especially if it is tolerated/acceptable in a given culture or subculture.  Plagiarism can result in numerous negative consequences, including failing grades and potential expulsion or withdrawal of credits/points from any given course.
