Chapter 7 :) :)

Plagiarism

Everyone’s own writings are important. It is very important to credit whoever work you are using. When you are writing a research paper it is important to look at others people works. You cannot write word for word what they have said in the article. That would be plagiarism, which is illegal. When writing from a paper you should first analyze what you are reading. To help make sure you do not plagiarize people’s work you can keep in mind that you are contributing to the authors work, not making the same exact paper. You can also learn to take good notes about the sources you are reading. When you do you a source in your paper you should make sure that you cite it. This will give other people who read your work background. It is very important to know exactly how to cite your paper. You need to know that you can use MLA, APA, CSC, and Chicago. All of these have different ways to cite your sources. This also goes along with in-text citation. In-text citation references your source within the body of your paper. Then as I said before you use your sources to make the works cited for your paper. The works citied can have many different sources of documents. They can range from a book to a Facebook post. In the end you just need to remember that people worked hard on there research and it is not fair to take their hard work.
