Ok if the source said Parents often want to consult with doctors over the phone in off hours to determine if a child needs to be seen. and I wrote Parents may call pediatricians after hours to see if they should bring in their child. Is that plagiarism.

Answer 1

No, it is not it only counts as plagiarism if you copy it word for word/paraphrased and the website is copyrighted and there is more than 30 people visiting the site on a bad day.

Answer 2

Joshua is almost right.

Wes, you have read the links that explain about the difference between copying directly and paraphrasing, right?

What you wrote is paraphrasing, in my opinion. Just cite it!!

Answer 3

Yes, I read the links, and I have cited the sentence in my paper. However, the sentences seem too similar to me because it says not to have the same sentence structures.

Answer 4

Exactly.

Answer 5

So I just checked everything online again, and just to be sure there is no plagiarism in my sentences because it is a paraphrase right?
