Query on EPQ plagiarism

i appreciate the reply Djministe, thank you!

i was always told by teachers that boards have special software to check for plagiarism, because EPQ is supervised by an exam board (i think) does it still mean its manually checked and not checked by using software?

I'm handing in my EPQ later this week, I used some journals some of which included quotes- if I use the quotes should I quote from the original source or the journal? Thanks

If you can track down the primary source, to check that it was correctly quoted in the secondary source, then you might only need to quote the primary source (depending on the context). Otherwise, it is necessary to cite both.

Referencing systems will differ on the precise layout for a bibliography, but the pointers on this site might help:

"Sometimes an author will quote work someone else has done, but you are unable to track down the original source. In this case, both the original and the secondary source must be listed in the note and the bibliography.


If, for example, you were reading a book and the author of the book (in the example below, that would be Sarah Gwyneth Ross) made reference to the work done by another author (in the example below, that would be Astrik L. Gabriel), you would refer to the work as per the layout below.


General Format

Full Note: 1. Author First Name/Initial Surname [original author], Title (Place of
Publication: Publisher, Year), page number, quoted in Author First Name/Initial
Surname [the author of the book that refers to the thoughts/ideas of the
other author]), Title (Place of Publication: Publisher, Year), page #.

Concise Note:
2. Author Surname [original author], Title, page #.

Bibliography:
Author Surname, First Name/Initial [original author]. Title. Place of Publication:
Publisher, Year. Quoted in Author First Name/Initial Surname [the author
of the book that refers to the thoughts/ideas of the other author]. Title.
Place of Publication: Publisher, Year, page #.


Example

Full Note:
1. Astrik L. Gabriel, "The Educational Ideas of Christine de Pisan," Journal of
the History of Ideas 16, no. 1 (1995): 3-21, quoted in Sarah Gwyneth Ross, The

Harvard University Press, 2009), 23.

Sorry to bring a dead thread back to life but, if you are paraphrasing and you put an incorrect citation, on purpose or by accident, and you do this systematically, can you get caught?
I am asking because I have incorrectly cited some sources, I cannot change the people I have given them credit to, because I don't know the original author, but I am going on the hopes that because you are paraphrasing, or putting into your own words, at this level, it wont be flagged up on their system. All quotes are currently correctly referenced. Thanks, I am pretty much done my epq and bricking it now,

Of course you can be caught. The whole reason for referencing is to show who the ideas originally belonged to, so by referencing the wrong person it will be obvious - and it will be classed as plagiarism

But how will they know, and how will they know it wasn't deliberate?

You aren't answering my question. Plagiarism is plagiarism yes well done, but HOW will they know, especially with paraphrasing?

I'm not giving you advice on how to cheat.

If you can't understand how they will know, you clearly don't understand the point of referencing.
