Nearly everyone understands that copying passages verbatim from another writer's work and representing them as one's own work constitutes plagiarism. Yet plagiarism involves much more. At LSU, plagiarism is defined to include any use of another's work and submitting that work as one's own. This means not only copying passages of writing or direct quotations but also paraphrasing or using structure or ideas without citation. Learning how to paraphrase and when and how to cite is an essential step in maintaining academic integrity." From LSU Student Advocacy & Accountability

Image citations can change depending on various factors:
•Citations for original works of art are different than citations of an image from secondary sources like a book or a website.
• All of the needed information for a citation may not be available (i.e. the date or title of the photograph). Provided as much information as possible and be consistent.
• Instructors may have specific requirements for each class. Always check with your instructors early in the assignment to confirm their expectations for your final work.
