What you learn
Description
All authors need to rely on secondary information besides their own findings, and it is easy to blur the lines of sanctity without intending to. The slightest misstep may inadvertently lead to plagiarism, which in the field of scientific research is a serious concern. So what if you want to cite another researcher's work in your own paper? Is there a way to incorporate previously published work into your own writing without being accused of plagiarism?
Through this program, you will learn about the different types of plagiarism, intentional and unintentional, and understand how critical it is to clearly distinguish between your own ideas and the borrowed ideas on which your research conclusions may be based. You will also get expert tips and practical techniques to help you organize and synthesize data, acknowledge references, add the correct citations, and judiciously paraphrase your interpretations based on borrowed data to avoid plagiarism.

In my academic program, we were told not to avoid plagiarism. This course was exactly what I needed. Especially, unintentional and intentional plagiarism. Great course! Now I have a better understanding of what I shouldn'plt do and ways to prevent doing it.

The experience on over all was great. Have always heard about avoiding plagiarism in articles, magazines, research etc, but never had much clarity on plagiarism but after doing this course have a clear idea on what is good and bad plagiarism. what is paraphrasing. How to avoid the plagiarism, what are point to always look after to avoid plagiarism and even how to quote some body's work . before attending this course had little idea about how to avoid plagiarism now after attending this course have clear idea about the topic. only suggestion would be adding few more examples for making the topic even more understandable.
