 Avoiding Plagiarism
Avoiding plagiarism is quite simple. The best method
for avoiding it is to simply be honest; when you've
used a source in your paper, give credit where it's
due. Acknowledge the author of the original work
you've used.
 Avoiding Plagiarism
• Another way to avoid plagiarism is to use your
own work as often as possible. Quoting and
citing sources is usually required and inevitable
when doing research -- that's how you "back
up" your own work. But using someone else's
work excessively can be construed as
plagiarism.

• Another way to it is to quote and/or cite your

sources properly.
• In-text (parenthetical) citation
• Bibliography (Works Cited Page, References)

The in-text citation acts as a key to your bibliography and

directs your reader to specific sources. The in-text citation includes
the author’s last name (and/or) the title of the work so that you
can easily locate the complete source information in the
bibliography.
 You need to give credit to a source any time you
use information from the source in the following ways:
• Direct Quotation
• Paraphrase
• Summary
• Block Quotations – must be longer than three
lines, set off from main body of paragraph (like a
block)
• Integrated Quotations – three lines of text or
fewer, flows seamlessly in the paragraph

Part Two:
• In text parenthetical citations direct the reader to
the appropriate MLA or APA entry.
• The purpose for APA or MLA citations are to
enable the reader to verify your information, or
research the topic further.
• APA = American Psychological Association
(Social Sciences)
• MLA = Modern Languages Association
(English and the Humanities)
• CBE = Council of Biology Editors (Science)
(Both in-text, then at the end as well)

• Summaries, paraphrases, quotes

• Obscure or recently discovered facts
• Other’s opinions
• Other’s field research (polls, surveys)
• Quotations or paraphrases from your own interviews
• Common knowledge
• Everyday facts (presidential birth dates, names of
Supreme Court Justices, etc.
• Standard definitions of academic terms
• Your own field research (surveys, observations)
• Works Cited pages are a list of all works cited within
the paper.
• Bibliographies are a list of works read and consulted
whether you used them or not.
• APA = (Author’s last name, Date)
(Jenkins, 1978)
For quotes, use a pg. # at end:
(Jenkins 1978, p. 53)
• MLA= (Author’s last name Page)
(Jenkins 53)

The only way to be sure is to
LOOK IT UP.
…try online tools
• There are some great web sites that will simply ask you
to fill in the information for the source, and the site will
produce the entry for you!
• CAUTION: On these sites you are only as good as the
information you “input” into the fields, and the choices
you make about what type of source you have.
BE METICULOUS.

Your grade depends on it, and it’s the

LAW!
 An Example of an APA
Titleheader
•The Pageincludes the
running head (formatted as
the following: Running head:
TITLE OF ESSAY) against the left
margin and the page number
against the right margin.
•The title of the essay, your
name, and the university name
should appear centered,
double spaced, and on the
top half of the page.
•All text should be in 12 pt.
Times New Roman font and
should not be bold.
•Author’s note (optional)
contains contact information
and acknowledgements and
should be placed at the
bottom half of essay.
 MLA Sample First Page
•MLA format does not
require a title page.
•On the first page, the
student includes a heading
(name, professor, course
number and date). The first
page heading begins on
the first line of text (not the
header) and is double
spaced.
•The title appears centered
in plain text after the first
page heading.
•The header contains only
the student’s last name
and page number.
