Austin Community College Library Research Guides - ACC Library Study Guides: Documentation & Plagiarism

When you use the words or original ideas of another person in your writing, you need to document, or give credit to, the sources of those words or ideas. If exact words from the original are used, quotation marks are necessary. If you paraphrase, or restate the idea in your own words, quotation marks are not required, but documentation of the source is still required.

There are several different formats for documentation. Use this guide to learn more about documentation and plagiarism.

If you still have questions, ask a librarian. Use the Get Help! tab to find a librarian near you.
