You can avoid plagiarism by always giving credit to your sources and quoting them appropriately. Here are some examples of how to properly credit sources and quote them:
- Give credit to the original author and publisher. If you’re quoting a line of text from a book, give the title, author, and publisher.
- Use quotation marks and give the source. For example, if you’re quoting from a book, say, “From The Night Before,” you’d say, “From The Night Before,” by Stephen King.”
- Give credit to the source of your information. For example, if you’re quoting a book, give the title, author, and publisher. If you’re paraphrasing a quote, give the original author and the source of the paraphrase.
- Don’t just copy and paste someone else’s words without giving credit.
