Avoiding plagiarism

Avoid accidental plagiarizing

 

1) Keep direct quotes in a separate document from your working document.



​2) Keep track of all sources quoted and paraphrased - record information needed to cite the source.


3) When in doubt, check your paraphrased wording against the wording within the sources.
