What MUST you do to avoid plagiarism when using paraphrasing or quoting the work of others?

To avoid plagiarism when paraphrasing or quoting the work of others, you must properly cite the source using the appropriate citation style (MLA, APA, Chicago, etc.). Additionally, ensure that you are not copying the original text Word for Word when paraphrasing and that you accurately represent the author's ideas in your own Words. Finally, provide quotation marks around any direct quotes taken from the original work.
