Avoiding Plagiarism

Plagiarism - the unacknowledged use of words or ideas of others - is the most common form of academic integrity violation at Cornell. If you are unsure of what constitutes plagiarism and whether you are actually plagiarising when you use websites and written materials in your own work, please visit the Cornell Arts & Sciences website on recognizing and avoiding plagiarism.
