Intentional plagiarism is what most people think of when they think of plagiarism, but the majority of cases are committed by accident.
- Paraphrase- Use your own words to express another author's ideas or information and provide an in-text citation and list the source in your list of references
- Take good notes and keep track of your sources so you can easily cite them later
- Acknowledge all sources- indicate where the information you are using is coming from in your citation list. When in doubt, cite.
- Properly use quotes-when you quote a source directly make sure you include the appropriate quotation marks
