Avoiding Plagiarism

What is plagiarism?*

  • Plagiarism is using or submitting intellectual property, ideas, or evidence produced by another person without giving credit to that person.
  • Please note:
    • That person may be AI.
    • That person may be you (yes, you can accidentally plagiarize yourself!).

Avoid plagiarism! When using someone else's work, remember to:

  • Clearly indicate and cite when you are summarizing, paraphrasing, or quoting another person's work.
  • Give credit to the original author (or yourself, or AI) by citing their work - both in text and in your reference list.

*(Paraphrased from the UNH Code of Academic Integrity)
