Citing Sources and Intellectual Property

Citing Sources and Intellectual Property

When writing papers, doing research, or preparing presentations, you must be aware of intellectual property. Words, images, ideas and more are the property of their creators. If you do not give proper credit for the use of intellectual property, you may be accused of plagiarism. However, by properly citing your sources, you give credit to the author of words or ideas, and make clear which words and concepts are your own. Use the resources below to better understand intellectual property, plagiarism, and how to cite the material you have used for research. Also, become familiar with the University's Rules and Procedures for plagiarism and other violations of academic integrity.
