What is plagiarism? Plagiarism is "the uncredited use (both intentional and unintentional) of somebody else's words or ideas.”
Three different acts are considered plagiarism: 1.Failing to cite quotations and borrowed ideas 2.Failing to enclose borrowed language in quotation marks 3. Failing to put summaries and paraphrases into your own words”.
"How to avoid plagiarism?" Using quotation marks to enclose any statements you lift directly from a source, and while you may be putting information and ideas you find into your own words, you still need to cite authors in- text, as well as in your References page.
