If you are an academic or professional, plagiarism will result in, at best, the rejection of your manuscript, and at worst disciplinary action. If you are a student, plagiarism may result in disciplinary action.

To avoid plagiarism, you must correctly attribute ideas and quotations, which is using someone else's ideas or material without acknowledgement (intentionally or unintentionally).

If the information or quote you are referencing in an academic paper or book comes from a source, you will need to give your reader the necessary information to look up the information in that source.
