How to avoid plagiarism 1 Plagiarism can sometimes be the result of poor note

taking, or paraphrasing without properly citing the

reference. Avoid plagiarism by: citing yourreferences, referencing correctly, recording direct

quotes and paraphrases correctly when note taking.

Quotes: When you use the exact words, ideas or

images of another person, you are quoting theauthor. If you do not use quotation marks around

the original author's direct words and cite the

reference, you are plagiarizing.

Paraphrasing is when you take someone else'sconcepts and put them into your own words without

changing the original meaning. Even though you

are not using the same words you still need to state

where the concepts came from.
