Unit 8: An Anti-Plagiarism Plan

Use the following 'equation' to help you avoid plagiarising:

SQ3R =

  • Survey
    survey several sources. You may write an initial structure at this stage

  • Question
    what do you need to know? what does your essay say?

  • Read
    read your sources with your questions in mind (and note the references)
    continue reading until you’ve found answers to all the questions you identified
    highlight any direct quotations you may want to use

  • Recall
    write the essay in your own words without consulting your sources

  • Review
    review your work, including checking for plagiarism
