Plagiarism
It is the act of presenting the words, ideas, images, sounds, or the creative expression of
others as your own.
The ff. are the ways to integrate your sources and all of them require that you cite the source:
 Quote – An exact phrase taken from a passage and put inside quotation marks.
 Paraphrase – A restatement of a passage in your own words, about the same length as the
original.
 Summary - A much shorter rephrasing of the main idea of the passage (usually just one or two
sentences.)

Strategies to Avoid Unintentional Plagiarism

 Take detailed notes when researching.
 Paraphrase without looking at the original source to avoid bad paraphrase.
 Focus on the meaning, not the actual words.
 Proofread and revise.
