Copyright Copyright is a law that gives an individual ownership over the things they create. You must receive permission to use items that are copyrighted. Works that are copyrighted may be marked with the word “Copyright”, or a C surrounded by a circle, followed by the date of when the work was published, and the author of the work.

Plagiarism Plagiarism is taking another person’s work and using it as your own. When you plagiarize you fail to give credit to the original source. |
Fair Use According to Stanford University Libraries (Stim, 2017), fair use is the “copying of copyrighted material done for a limited and ‘transformative’ purpose, such as to comment upon, criticize, or parody a copyrighted work.” These uses can be done without having to receive the author’s permission to use their work. |
Tips for avoiding plagiarism:
- Paraphrase – Put the information you found in your own words
- Cite your sources
- When using exact words from the text be sure to use quotation marks
- Be sure to cite what you quote
