What are some ways to avoid plagiarism?

In: Plagiarism [Edit categories]

Answer:

- If you copy word-for-word, use quotations.
- Put things into your own words. This is called paraphrasing. Be aware that after you paraphrase you must cite your source for the idea because it isn't something you came up with.
- CITE, CITE,CITE ...did I mention to CITE your sources. Depending on your topic and the style of paper you are writing it will either be a works cited page or a bibliography. A good cite to use to create one of these (if you don't know how to already) is www.bibme.org. You just have to enter in the information and style of citations and wheather it is a works cited or a bibliography and the generator will put your source in the correct format in alphabetical order.
