13. Avoiding Plagiarism Avoiding plagiarism is quite simple. The best method for avoiding it is to simply be honest ; when you've used a source in your paper, give credit where it's due. Acknowledge the author of the original work you've used.

14. Avoiding Plagiarism  Another way to avoid plagiarism is to use your own work as often as possible. Quoting and citing sources is usually required and inevitable when doing research -- that's how you "back up" your own work. But using someone else's work excessively can be construed as plagiarism.  Another way to it is to quote and/or cite your sources properly.
