How to avoid plagiarism: paraphrasing
You can use this checklist when citing sources:
​
-
Have I used citations whenever I have paraphrase/summarised from a source?
​
-
Have I used enough citations to support my arguments?
​
-
Have I checked each citation again to ensure the source used is correct?
​
-
Have I used the style guide (e.g. ACS, ASME, IEEE, MLA, etc,) I was supposed to use for this text ?
​
-
Have I used the same style guide throughout my text?
​
-
Is there a one-to-one correspondence between citations and the works listed in my reference list?
​
-
If providing a bibliography list, have I included both the works referred to in the body of my text and works that are relevant to my topic?
​
-
Have I formatted the references/bibliography list in the required style guide?
