13. Better ways to avoid plagiarism Always keep track of what you’ve read; develop annotated bibliographies Always give credit where credit is due; this includes images and ideas as well as text! Make sure you understand what you are paraphrasing. When you make a claim or state a fact, see if you can find any authoritative evidence to back it up.
