How to avoid
plagiarism
• Quote and cite phrases, sentences, and
paragraphs taken directly from the original
source.
• Quote and cite statistics, charts, graphs and
drawings taken directly from the original
source.
• When you paraphrase or summarize, give
credit to the original author.
Question:
•Do I have to cite everything?

Except –
• When you use your own words

• When the fact used is common
knowledge.
What makes it “common

knowledge”?
Answer: YES!! If you can find the same
information in at least 3
different sources, you don’t have
to cite it.
What’s the big deal?

You can “borrow” from the works of others in your
own work! Be very careful.
Use these three strategies,
• Quoting
• Paraphrasing
• Summarizing
To blend source materials in with your own,

making sure your own voice is heard.
Quoting
Quotations are the exact words of an author,
copied directly from a source, word for word.
Quotations must be cited!
Paraphrasing
Paraphrasing means putting someone else’s words
or ideas into your own words.
Although you are using your own words, the ideas

are taken from someone else and must be cited
on your Works-Cited page.
Paraphrasing
Paraphrasing is not simply rearranging or
rewording an original passage.
You must understand what the author is

saying and write the ideas entirely in your
own words.
Give the author credit when you quote or

paraphrase.
As you take notes:
Include page numbers and source references so you can go back and check for
accuracy as you write.
DON’T

end of your work.
