Citing Sources

What is plagiarism?

Plagiarism is the use of another person’s words or ideas and representing them as your own. 

Plagiarism may be intentional or unintentional. 

To make sure you have avoided plagiarism in your work, you should:

  • Accurately quote the original author's words.
  • Enclose the quotation within quotation marks.
  • Follow the quotation with an in-text citation.
  • Introduce the quotation with a phrase that includes the author's name.
  • Provide a list of references with full citation information at the end of the paper.
