Attribution and citation are essential for maintaining academic integrity and are important signs of respect for the ideas of others. To incorporate the work of someone else into assignments, credit must be given to the creator in the form of a citation. Plagiarism occurs when an idea is used without giving the proper credit to its creator. Sometimes this is intentional, but often it is unintentional, happening simply due to incorrect citation.
Below are resources from Lamson and various other Libraries that aim to help you better understand how to avoid plagiarism and cite your sources properly while doing academic work. Many of these resources include video tutorials, reference guides, and quizes to test your understanding.
