Keep track of your sources:
While you’re doing research and taking notes for your paper, make sure to record the source of each piece of information. One way that students commit plagiarism is by simply forgetting where an idea came from and unintentionally presenting it as their own.
You can easily avoid this pitfall by keeping your notes organized and compiling a list of citations as you go. Keep track of every source you consult.
Quote and paraphrase:
In general, paraphrasing is better than quoting, especially for longer passages. It shows that you have fully understood the meaning of the original text, and ensures that your own voice is dominant in your paper.
Quotes are appropriate when:
You are using an exact definition introduced by the original author
It is impossible for you to rephrase the original text without losing its meaning
You want to maintain the authority and style of the author’s words
Whether you paraphrase or quote, always build on your sources by adding your own ideas, interpretations and arguments.
Use a plagiarism checker:
Most universities use plagiarism checkers to detect plagiarism in student papers. This technology scans your document, compares it to a huge database of publications and websites, and highlights passages that are overly similar to other texts.
You can use a plagiarism checker yourself before submitting your paper. This allows you to identify any parts where you’ve forgotten a citation, left out quotation marks, or included a paraphrase that’s too close to the original text. Then you can follow the steps above to easily fix any instances of potential plagiarism.
WHAT IS CITATION
"citation" is the way you tell your readers that certain material in your work came from another source. It also gives your readers the information necessary to find that source again, including: information about the author. the title of the work.
