Cite Your Sources

What is plagiarism?
According to the Merriam-Webster dictionary, to plagiarize is "to steal and pass off (the ideas or words of another) as one's own: use (another's production) without crediting the source" or "to commit literary theft: present as new and original an idea or product derived from an existing source."

Ways to avoid plagiarism:

  • Keep track of the sources you consult in your research.
  • Paraphrasing or quoting from your sources.
  • Crediting the original author in an in-text citation and in your reference list.
  • Using a plagiarism checker before you submit (click the "Citation Manager" tab to access a list of plagiarism tools).
