  1. Citing Your Work Avoiding Plagiarism

  2. What is plagiarism? Taking credit for someone else’s work… http://www.lib.usm.edu/legacy/plag/whatisplag.php

  3. Tips to Avoid Plagiarism *Number sources and put those numbers next to your notes (so you know where you got information from) *Cite every piece of information that is not common knowledge nor something discovered from your own research (including opinions, arguments, facts, speculations, figures, statistics) *Use quotation marks in notes to show what is worded exactly as the original piece (can make changes later)

  4. Taking Notes • Skim the source first • If you know you will use info from it for your paper or project, create the bibliography first and give it a number – then label all notes with that number • If there isn’t valuable information in the source (you will not take any notes from it), there is no need to write a bibliography

  5. Writing the Bibliography(or Works Cited) When there is more than one author, list them in the order they are listed on the title page If the citation is more than one line, indent the second line 5 spaces Put it in alphabetical order; if no author is listed, use first word of the title (but NOT “a”, “an”, or “the”)

Find one website on your topic for science and write bibliography for that. Write a bibliography for a textbook for one of your classes (can use the purple lit ones by the window, the science book, the ss book, or the math book).
