One of the key areas in avoiding plagiarism is proper referencing. Many supposed cases of plagiarism are inadvertent and can easily be avoided by properly citing sources. There are various different referencing styles which include Harvard, MLA, Oxford, Chicago and APA. Different departments may require different referencing styles for your papers so you should be clear on how to use the required one.
One of the most common referencing styles is APA which stands for American Psychological Association. I have uploaded a helpful video that is very informative on how to reference in this style. It contains information on both in-text and end-of-text referencing.
Once you get the hang of referencing, you'll find that it's not that hard to ensure your work is free from plagiarism.
