4. Research and Copyright Basics
When you do research, you need to be sure that you do not copy
exactly what the book, magazine, encyclopedia, or website said- you
can use their ideas and information, but do
not use the exact
same words and sentences they used.
You also need to cite your sources. This means that you have to give
credit to the people you got the information from. A list of the sources
you used is called a BIBLIOGRAPHY.
If you use someone else’s words and do not cite the
source, it is called plagiarism, and it is against the
law.
