How to avoid plagiarism

What is plagiarism?

Plagiarism is presenting someone else’s work, original ideas, or words as your own, without crediting the source.

  • Manage your time wisely so that you have time to research, draft, revise, and proofread.
  • Learn how to incorporate information you get from research into your own writing effectively and responsibly.
  • Learn how to acknowledge or document sources appropriately.
  • Learn how to recognize what information needs to be documented.

To cite or not to cite?

Some forms of plagiarism

  • Document the source of information that you get from the Internet, email, conversations, class discussions, broadcast media, books, articles and other print sources, songs, films, interviews, etc.
  • Direct quotes, summaries, and paraphrases all need to be cited.
  • Document the source of pictures, graphs, illustrations, that you did not create yourself.

  • Don’t document “common knowledge.”

  • Don’t document your own experiences, observations, conclusions, thoughts or the results of your own experiments.

  • Presenting a paper written by someone else as your own
  • Presenting someone else’s research as your own
  • Presenting someone else’s original ideas or expert knowledge as your own
  • Presenting someone else’s words as your own
