To avoid being accused of plagiarism, you need to give credit to the concepts, facts, ideas and words you find from other sources and use in your papers. You give credit by properly using quotations or paraphrases and always providing correct citation and reference information whenever you do so.
Plagiarism (latin Plaqio – to steal, theft) is the acquisition of literary or scientific work by another author or the use of excerpts of the work without specifying the author. For instance, copying and pasting information to the content of a given assignment, adapting information and citing without indicating the source.
