How to Avoid Plagiarism
Always cite everything that is not your own idea, even if you came up with that idea on your own before you found it in sources.
If you paraphrase an author by restating his or her ideas in your own words, you must cite the source
When quoting an author directly, use quotation marks to separate the author's words from your own, and follow the quotation with a citation.
Use quotation marks when repeating more than three consecutive words from the source.
If you are unsure whether to cite, ask someone.
