To avoid plagiarizing a source when writing a paper, you can take the following measures:
- Making sure to cite the source accurately
- Either paraphrasing or directly quoting the text with a citation
These methods ensure that you properly attribute the original idea or text to its author. Quoting the source in full without proper citation would not help avoid plagiarism, and while finding an additional source with a competing point of view may enhance your argument, it does not directly address plagiarism concerns related to the original source.
