Plagiarism involves presenting another person's ideas or work as your own without proper citation or acknowledgement. It can be intentional or unintentional. To avoid plagiarism, sources should be cited whenever using others' work, including direct quotes, paraphrased ideas, and information critical to developing one's own ideas. Turnitin is a plagiarism detection service that checks submissions against its database and the internet to generate originality reports for instructors.
