Generating Key Terms from Existing Sources

You are a member of a student group who would like to propose a new Academic Honesty policy for all first-year writing classes.  In order to draft a new policy and persuade writing faculty to adopt it, the group decides to learn more about published studies of plagiarism and student source usage. The goal is to build a bibliography of sources to help craft the policy and the proposal. 
 
So far, the group has found one article by Jennifer A. Mott-Smith, published in Inside Higher Ed (below). Your job is to use Mott-Smith’s article to generate keywords for a database search. Ultimately, you need to locate and strategically choose an article to add to the group’s bibliography.
