Plagiarism & Writing with Sources: Guidelines

• Use your own words and ideas
• Take good notes while you’re researching - indicate which words are yours and which are someone else’s
• Keep track of your drafts
• Give credit for copied, adapted or paraphrased material
• Use quotes when you use someone else’s wording
• Use the author’s name in the same sentence as quotes, paraphrases, and summaries
