• Know how to format the sources
Remember the following to avoid plagiarizing material: • Use quotation marks around direct quotes. • Use in-text citations (or footnotes) for all content that has been written or created by someone else, unless it is common knowledge. This applies to both direct quotations and paraphrased content. • Include the source in your bibliography or sources cited page at the end of the paper or project.
