Revealing the Source of Your Information (Including Your Own Prior Work)
XI. Unpublished work must be cited. Unpublished material includes not only unpublished work found as documents and manuscripts from beyond the classroom, but also material you or others produced at work, material produced by other students (such as, but not limited to, their homework or papers[2]) and papers you have written or tables or graphics you have produced for other courses either in other semesters or for a different instructor in the current semester is borrowing material when submitting that material for credit for a particular assignment, so that material must be cited. When using material produced by others (including where you have been a member of the team that produced the material), it is cited just as you would published material; however, APA style guidelines specify different specific information to include.
XII. Except where reuse of your own material is a properly cited brief quote or paraphrase or where the point of the assignment is to discuss, modify or expand such material; you should notify your instructor before using such material and obtain written permission from your instructor. Where there is more than one instructor in the current semester (including when completing courses from past semesters) you should obtain written permission from all related instructors. Full disclosure is required. Assume that multiple uses and use of other student work is prohibited, except when your instructor explicitly allows it. You must also reveal reuse of your own work when the original was produced for other purposes such as for work, a blog or any other purpose. When quoting, rather than extensively reusing, you should cite appropriately.
XIII. When borrowing from any primary (original) sources after finding a quote in a secondary (not the original) source, cite the source you have actually used. Cite the primary source only to the extent that you have followed through and read the primary source. If you are quoting, paraphrasing, or borrowing an idea from the secondary source, cite the secondary source as it is the primary source for the idea you are borrowing. If the quote is strictly from the primary source but you found it solely in the secondary source the form is “quoted material,” (primary citation as quoted in secondary citation). It is strongly preferred to find and use the primary source for the quote. Secondary sources can have inaccurate quotes and citations. However, even under these circumstances, you should reveal that you were led to the primary source from the secondary source, by citing both sources. Using a known inaccurate quote or citation without citing the secondary source implies plagiarism. Using an exact quote that appears in material you have otherwise used, but citing an alternate source, may support concerns about the accuracy of your citations.
Example: “The organization of offices follows the principle of hierarchy; that is each lower office is under the control and supervision of a higher one” (Weber, 1947, 331 as quoted in Blau, 1956, 29).
