What is plagiarism? And, why is it important to cite sources?

Plagiarism is the act of using someone else’s ideas or words and passing them off as your own.   Plagiarism can be intentional or unintentional.   

By citing your sources, you are:

  • Giving credit to the author
  • Showing evidence for your assignments 
  • Preventing plagiarism
