Plagiarism

• Plagiarism is defined in the University of
  Arkansas Catalog of Studies as "offering as ones
  own work the words, ideas, or arguments of
  another person without appropriate attribution by
  quotation, reference or footnote" (section on
  "Academic Regulations Academic Honesty").
• The consequences of plagiarizing another's work
  can be very serious for one's course grade or for
  one's entire academic career. Plagiarism and
  academic dishonesty go beyond simply cutting and
  pasting text from an article or book into your
  paper without attribution they can include
  paraphrasing without attributution or even citing
  sources that you have not consulted in your Works
  Cited list.
• Citing your sources is the first step to avoiding
  plagiarism. You might also review our plagiarism
  detection and prevention links for more
  information.
