Avoid Plagiarism
  • Keep careful research notes and keep track of citations and where your information comes from.
  • Copy and paste judiciously.

  • Remember that most of the words you are using should be yours. [Quotes from sources should be used to bolster your ideas--not replace your ideas or simply add to the word count.]

  • If you paraphrase or quote, you need to cite.  Other people's ideas need to be credited as well as their quoted words.
