What to do if you are accused of plagiarism |
 |
Your best defense against plagiarism is to:
1.
Keep all pre-writing materials and write the date on them
-
including notes, outlines, concept maps, and all drafts
2.
Provide sources, if accused, and display the pre-writing and editing
process
-
an earlier draft might have the citation or quotation marks, which were accidentally deleted in the final editing
-
your notes on sources and working outlines will demonstrate your attempts to integrate the source into your own voice
| Never create a separate computer file for your references; ensure that the references appear in your paper's electronic file, or you may forget to print out your works cited page when you turn your assignment in. |
