Avoiding plagiarism
Plagiarism, the representation of someone else's ideas or words as your own, is a serious offence.
When you write your own piece of work you must give credit to the sources, written or produced by others, that you have used. This will demonstrate the breadth of sources you have consulted and enable others to trace the knowledge on which you have based your work.
Keeping accurate bibliographic records throughout your research will make the job of constructing your bibliography and correctly citing throughout your text a much easier task.
