If a person found out information or facts through research, then the sources for that fact must be credited.

One way plagiarism can occur is when the exact words of another are used without giving that person credit through quotation marks and citations.

Copying the words or ideas from others without giving them credit can get a writer in trouble.

Quotations from sources must have quotation marks.

Paraphrases and summaries do not need to credit the source. Only direct quotations must credit the source.

When taking notes for a research project, it is best to paraphrase or summarize then. That way, there will be fewer chances of plagiarizing during the drafting process.

If a person copies something from the internet, that does not count as plagiarism.

Plagiarism is a sign the writer does not understand the reading material when the writer is unable to use his or her own ideas.
