What is Plagiarism
Incorporating Other's Ideas
There are three main ways you can incorporate other's ideas into your work:
Quote: Using somone else's exact words in "quotation marks."
Paraphrase: Putting another source into your own words

Citing Government Websites
Government websites:
- Cite these as you would other websites.
- If there is no author listed, use the name of the government agency or organization as the author.
Example:
Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. (2018, January 18). World Map of Areas with Risk of Zika. Retrieved from: https://wwwnc.cdc.gov/travel/page/world-map-areas-with-zika
- GWU has an online guide for citing government websites.
