Guide to Using Zotero

Plagiarism is using the work of someone else without giving that person credit.

Most plagiarism is unintentional.

Some examples:

1. Copying text word for word from a book, an article, or the Web without giving credit.
2. Paraphrasing text from a book, an article, or the Web without giving credit.
3. Using the original ideas of someone else without giving credit.

Note: You do not have to give credit for information that is common knowledge! (e.g. the boiling point of water)

How not to do it:

1. Use your own ideas as much as possible. 
2. When taking notes, write them in your own words, making sure the wording is significantly different than the original. If you must copy word for word, use quotation marks!
3. When taking notes, keep a detailed inventory of where you found each piece of information so you’ll be able to properly acknowledge it later. Best Bet: keep your notes and citations together in EndNote or Zotero.
