Chapter 7

Plagiarism is the main topic in this chapter, and offers many perspectives to my research and how i collect sources. There is unintentional and intentional plagiarism. When you make the effort to steal someone's work, chances are you will be caught and shunned for it. I will always look at my sources before i publish them and learn what they communicate to practice proper research ethics. Common knowledge is the idea that you don't have to cite everything a source says, because much of the information is already widely known. Be aware of what you publish and how it could be viewed or interpreted. Always reread your work and sources to make sure you didn't copy anything without proper citation. If you are accused of copying someone's work, arrange a meeting with your instructor and bring all your work and sources to show your work process.
