23. How to Prevent Plagiarism
Ways to Prevent/Avoid Plagiarism:
➢ Paraphrasing: Reading original and putting it into your
own words
➢ Citing: Citing is one of the effective ways to avoid
plagiarism. Follow the document formatting guidelines
(i.e. APA, MLA, Chicago, etc.) used by your educational
institution
➢ Quoting: When quoting a source, use the quote exactly
the way it appears. No one wants to be misquoted.
➢ Referencing: Including a reference page or page of works
cited at the end of your research paper.
