Avoiding Plagiarism
Citing all external sources used, quoted, and/or paraphrased in your work is the best way to avoid plagiarism. Be sure you’re familiar with what plagiarism and academic integrity are; see the section on the Honor Statement in the Student Code of Conduct. Also see our web page on Managing Sources, which provides more detail on what plagiarism is and how to avoid it.
