While referring to an idea or wording that’s not your own, add a reference in your writing that says the name of the source, the date it was posted.
Using of quotations mark ("")
If you insert a source’s words into your writing, one of the simple and sure ways to avoid plagiarism is by using quotation marks around the text to used because that the words aren’t your own. A direct quote should also cite the source so that readers know who the quote is from.
Re-phasing
Re-phrasing is rewriting a source’s ideas into your desired work without changing it meaning. Avoid using many resembling words or phrases from the source. The key is to do so without changing the meaning of the idea itself. Note you’re still using another’s idea so you’ll need to include a reference to the source.
Write out your ideas
State what your particular reason for writing down , you can contribute in your writing cause that’s entirely your own. Put in mind that if you’re working on a source’s work put in your own point, you’ll still need to apply the rules and regulations above to avoid plagiarizing.

Self-plagiarism also applies to sharing the same piece of work for test or assignment in different classes without previous permission from both teacher and authority.
