What ways can can make use of Web-based information and still guard against plagiarism?

I need to write a paper and make use of the resources I find on the web. What ways can I use the information in my paper and not plagiarize the original author?What ways can can make use of Web-based information and still guard against plagiarism?Quotes allow you to take directly from a text. If not, just paraphrase the information yourself!What ways can can make use of Web-based information and still guard against plagiarism?
1. Paraphrase your information. Write down the information from the Web and then rewrite in your own words



2. Cite ALL sources that you find on the Web.



3. If you are taking a web based course, go to the school's resources on their web site and use their plagiarism tool. Upload your writing to that tool (they tell you how) and they will review it within a few minutes and find any quotes from web sites that are not in your own words. Then you can change it.

Try to read the information once, and then write it in your own words. Usually, unless you have very good memory, that alters some things in the text on the web. If that doesn't help, then try using only a few main words from the text and then adding substantially more things by yourself. Usually, that should work and would not set off the plagiarism thing.What ways can can make use of Web-based information and still guard against plagiarism?At uni I had to paraphrase all work and put a reference for it so that you could find the source. We had to acknowledge where we got all our information from. This done by putting the web address in quotes under the paraphrased section or if a book title of the book, then at the end doing a bibliography at the acknowledging all works used and author. This covers you from plagiarisms accusations at university.What ways can can make use of Web-based information and still guard against plagiarism?
any time you quote, put it into quotes, and anytime you re-phrase, put the authors last name in parentheses at the end of the paragraph or sentence.
