Plagiarism

Introduction

(Paley, 2010) <--- Look! Proper citation of a source!

“As a student, you will be both using other’s knowledge as well as your own insights to create new scholarship. To do this in a way that meets academic integrity standards, you must acknowledge the part of your work that develops from others’ efforts. You do this by citing the work of others. You plagiarize when you fail to acknowledge the work of others and do not follow appropriate citation guidelines.” (Ohio State University Libraries, 2015)
