What is the best way to avoid plagarism?

Answer 1

Do not copy information verbatim from a source. Attribute all direct quotations, which you should indicate by their source in your notes.

Answer 2

First, use your own words, not something you found elsewhere or memorized.
Second, learn to paraphrase what others have said. That is, after reading or studying what others have written, put your thoughts together using your own writing style and vocabulary.
Third, give credit where credit is due. If you tell your reader where you found the information, then you won't be accused of plagiarizing, the original author gets credit and the reader has another source of information. Everyone wins!

Answer 3

The first and most obvious step would be to not look at anyone else's work. If you need to look at another source, try getting the main facts out of it and writing it down. You can then create a sentence out of the main facts.

Answer 4

1) Don't copy word for word, PARAPHRASEinstead.

2) Write a rough draft that is completely yours and then use resources to help you improve your writing piece (assuming that you are working on an essay)

3) Be creative! Think of your own ideas! I assure you that using your own ideas would get you a much better grade than if you copy someone else's!

Hope I helped! :)

Answer 5

This question seems slightly broad so I will answer questions this could mean:

How do I avoid people plagiarizing my work?

There is no real good way to keep you writing form being stolen, unless you never show anyone or make it tedious to take it ie. imbedding writing as an image or background so no one can just copy or paste

How do I keep Myself from plagiarizing?

Take a class in self control

How do I keep my peers, students, or employees from plagiarizing?

First, it is important that you have strict anti-plagiarism guidelines. If this is not working there are multiple sites that will check if a piece of writing was copied from anything, the more effiencient sites may require money. If this doesn't work and a good lecture doesn't help, see a phycologist so you don't pull your hair out.

Answer 6

Completely and thoroughly document the sources you use in your essay
