PREVENTING PLAGIARISM WHEN

WRITING
In a research paper, you need to come up with your unique thoughts while
simultaneously referring to work that has now been completed by others. Nevertheless, how could you
tell where their thoughts end and your begin? What is the legitimate way to incorporate sources in your
article? If you edit something a creator said, do you need to refer to that creator? The clutter of answers to
these questions often leads to counterfeiting. If you have comparative questions or are concerned about
preventing copyright violation, we suggest using the diary below. There are additional tools like Turnitin
Draft Coach that help you ensure a unique roster and proper references before submitting the last form.

To avoid plagiarizing you need to plan your paper, you can ask someone for guidance, and take notes of
the sources where you got the information. If you know you are going to use other sources of information,
you need to plan how you are going to include them in your paper. Probably the most ideal way of getting
ready for a research paper is by taking exhaustive notes from every one of your sources with the goal that
you have a large part of the data coordinated before you start composing. Additionally, start checking
page numbers, and ensure that you record bibliographic data or web addresses for each source
immediately.

In writing your paper you should know how to paraphrase, cite your sources and make it clear who said
what. Be that as it may, in case it is hazy whether thought in your paper truly came from you, or
regardless of whether you got it from elsewhere and just transformed it a little, you ought to consistently
refer to your source. For instance, envision you are discussing Harold Bloom's conversation of James
Joyce's assessment of Shakespeare, and you state: "He splendidly depicted the circumstance of an author
in the public eye around then." Who is the "He" in this sentence? Changing a couple of expressions of the
first sentences doesn't make you're composing a genuine reword. Great rewording makes the thoughts of
the source fit flawlessly into your paper, underlining the most applicable focuses and leaving out
insignificant data.
