Attribution Reminder
When you use or refer to the ideas or creative work of another, you'll need to attribute those borrowings to the original author or artist. Failure to do so--that is, to imply that those ideas are your own--is plagiarism.
Keep notes on the sources of ideas you read about. Then documenting them in your paper will be easier.
