Im concerned about plagiarism. Can the Writing Center help identify insufficiently cited quotes or paraphrases that might get me in trouble?
It’s very easy, when writing quickly, to mistakenly drop in a section of text from a source without citing it. As we are reading your paper with you, we try to be alert to sudden shifts in style that can indicate cut-and-paste issues. We can help you properly use and credit your sources and understand the difference between legitimate paraphrase and plagiarism. However, since we are probably not familiar with either the sources you’ve used or with your normal writing style (unless you are a regular customer), we can’t guarantee that we will always notice problems with citation. For more, check Help with Citing Sources.
