HOW can you prevent Plagiarism?

For starters, it helps to understand the ways in which

you can borrow the ideas and words from someone else

and use it in your paper – in-text citations.

IN-Text Citations

The 2 ways that you can borrow the ideas of someone else

are through:
1. Paraphrase

A paraphrase is a summary or rewording of someone else’s
words, thoughts, or ideas into your own words.

2. Direct Quotation

A direct quotation is writing someone’s words verbatim

(exactly as you see it). Direct
quotations need quotation marks
around them.
