Scholarship is a conversation.

When you cite, you are:

(1) giving credit to the author of an idea and avoiding plagiarism

(2) giving your readers the opportunity to delve deeper into the topic through your references

(3) showing that you are building on scientific research from the past and how your ideas fit into the future.

Plagiarism occurs when someone presents another person's ideas or words as their own without citing the source.

• You cannot copy and paste from a website or from another paper into your own work
• You cannot borrow and copy a paper or report from another student
• You cannot purchase a paper or report from the internet
• You cannot use a paraphrasing tool

You must paraphrase another's ideas using your own words and give an in-text citation and end reference to avoid plagiarism.

Plagiarism is academic misconduct that can result in suspension or expulsion for students. Published papers found to have plagiarism are retracted.

Plagiarism in the news.
