7. 引用要求
It is important to avoid plagiarizing other people’s work in the BA degree paper writing.
1) Quotations
In BA degree paper writing, a small number of direct quotations of other authors’ words in their publications could be used to support the argument. It is a dangerous policy to have quotations lightly held together by argument. The reverse pattern is far safer: a solid argument, carefully supported, where necessary, by apt quotations.
The following are some rules for using quotations:
a. A quotation should only be used when it contributes more by direct quotation than by rewriting.
b. Quotations must be accurate.
c. The sources must be indicated in such a way that the reader can find the quotation in its original context without any difficulty. Page numbers must be included in the reference.
d. Punctuation should clearly show where quotations begin and end.
Please see Rules for references in Appendix II.
2) Paraphrases
It is acceptable to rewrite in one’s own words (paraphrase) points or arguments that have been taken from other people’s published work. When doing so, credit must be given by referring to the source of information. However, in writing any section of the BA degree paper, one should present one’s own ideas combined with points or ideas derived from a number of different authors. One should not write up any particular section of the BA degree paper by borrowing information from a single source. In other words, using one’s own words to rewrite the work of another writer and submit it as one’s own work would be unacceptable.
Please see Rules for references in Appendix II.
3) Plagiarism (unacknowledged references)
Copying (word for word) of another author’s original text into the BA degree paper, without giving quotation marks, will be severely punished (if found). Copying one complete sentence from another author’s work without quotation marks is NOT acceptable, even if one has indicated credit using a reference given at the end of the sentence.
Rewriting other authors’ ideas without giving credit is also unacceptable, and will be penalized if such plagiarism is found in the BA degree paper.
8. 书目书写要求 (Bibliography)
To prevent the loss of reference information, it is good practice to compile a bibliography with full details as soon as one starts to find books or articles on a topic. It may seem unnecessary to have such /complete references; however, one may find that later, when wanting to refer to a particular book or article, that a lack of information makes it impossible or time-consuming. If one keeps an accurate record of references from the beginning, it will be an easy task to include references in the body of the BA degree paper and to write up the bibliography. Bibliographical entries should follow a strict format as stated in rules for references in Appendix XIII.
