Plagiarism occurs when outside information that is used in an essay is not cited correctly or cited at all. Once a source is found and incorporated, the source needs to be cited. Always properly cite an author's original idea, regardless of whether you have directly quoted or paraphrased it. Your source citation of a book, website, article, or dictionary shows that an expert backs up your statement and tells the reader how to find the facts. All In all siting your information is an away step and very much necessary to avoid any major errors of plagiarism that will result in an F and further action.
