Avoiding Plagiarism

You probably don’t want to have an entire post of direct quotes. So, how can you safely move from those quotes to your own words without plagiarizing? Here are some tips:

Take Your Time. Just like when you were in school, plagiarism happens most often when a deadline is fast approaching and the writer doesn’t have the time to put in careful work.

Give yourself enough time to research, write, and rewrite every time.
Read Multiple Sources. Don’t just read one source for background. By reading many different sources, you will be able to combine all that information into content that is not only original, but also informative and useful.


Link Liberally. Don’t be afraid to include multiple links within a post. If you’re borrowing or building upon ideas, link to the original author’s work. Doing so can also increase the likelihood the original author will engage with you since you’re directly linking to their post.
Paraphrase. Again, just like in high school – put what you just read in your own words.

Then reread your post against your sources to make sure no one else’s words slipped in. And remember, there is a fine line between paraphrasing and plagiarism. If you think you’re anywhere near that line, make sure you throw in a link to your source.


Multiple Drafts. Composing multiple drafts is not just a way to avoid stealing other writers’ words. It also polishes your own words, making your post more coherent with each revision.cheering

It's not at all difficult to throw quotation marks up

on a copy/pasted passage and say from www...


It's not even like a source is needed.

There's dozens of simple ways to let the reader know the words aren't ours, unless we want to pass them off as ours.


It's not hard.

No one that can type, is that stupid.

Well, if you can't be arsed quoting your source then at least write 'anonymous' at the end of the text, so we know it isn't really your work.

Plagiarism is a no no and can get you sued. scold
