How to Avoid Plagiarizing
Use a bibliography to list all sources referenced or used for your research
“Once detected, plagiarism in a work provokes skepticism and even outrage among readers, whose trust in the author has been broken”(Gibaldi 53).
Include in-text citations to reference your bibliography
When in doubt, ALWAYS cite!
