The usual penalty for plagiarism is a failing grade for the course. Students may be expelled from UConn for plagiarism. Ignorance or sloppiness is no excuse. This can be confusing for students when an article is in a book written or edited by another author, or when an author quotes material from someone else. See examples below.
Page numbers are always necessary when quoting or paraphrasing.
In citations with two authors, list both the authors last names. If you include more than one item by any author, list those items in chronological order. Do not number references. The references section must include all sources cited in the text. The title of a book, journal, or periodical should either be underscored or italicized .
