Please be aware that plagiarism is a major concern for the University community. Students' written work must be their own. When using ideas that are not your own in your writing, you must cite those ideas.
Proper citations are a critical component of avoiding plagiarism. Please ask a librarian or a professor if you have any more questions about plagiarism.
Organizing your research and putting your ideas down on paper can be difficult. You can get writing help at the Writing Center.
Keep track of all of your reference lists and bibliographies. Pitt's library resources work with citation management tools and allow you to import citations from sources like PittCat and article databases.
