avoiding plagiarism. Researchers

Plagiarism @UK
"Plagiarism means taking the words and thoughts of others (their ideas, concepts,
images, sentences, and so forth) and using them as if they were your own, without
crediting the author or citing the source" (from Plagiarism, What is It?, published by the
UK Office of Academic Ombud Services). Plagiarism: What Is It? explains plagiarism,
provides examples of both good and bad paraphrasing, and tips on how to avoid
plagiarism.
Plagiarism is a serious offense with consequences ranging from receiving a zero on an
assignment all the way to expulsion from the University. The Student Code of Conduct,
Part II--Selected Rules of the Senate, 6.3.0--Academic Offenses and Procedures further
defines plagiarism and consequences.

quizzes under each topic will reinforce your understanding.

Avoid Plagiarism
To avoid plagiarizing someone else
words or ideas, make sure you:
Paraphrase the original text in
your own words. Be sure you
are not just rearranging
phrases or replacing a couple
of words.
Use quotation marks around
text that has been
taken directly from the original
source.
Cite every source of
information you use to write
your paper unless it is
common knowledge or the
results of your own research.
This includes facts, figures,
and statistics as well as
opinions and arguments.
