To avoid plagiarism

According to Plagiarism.org, plagiarism is: " the improper use, or failure to attribute, another person's writing or ideas (intellectual property). It can be as subtle as the inadvertent neglect to include quotes or references when citing another source or as blatantly unethical as knowingly copying an entire paper verbatim and claiming it as your own work."

Careful citation of sources will help you avoid plagiarism. For assistance in identifying and avoiding plagiarism, please see the following:

• Avoiding Plagiarism (Purdue Univ. Online Writing Lab)
• Quoting and paraphrasing sources (Writer's Handbook, UW-Madison)
• Preventing plagiarism (turnitin.com): see the section For Students
