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, which is posted at https://studentconduct.utk.edu/. Also see our web page on Managing Sources, which provides more detail on what plagiarism is and how to avoid it.
