Answer 2

The Best Way to avoid plagiarism is to write something or everything about your research from your own ideas. But this is not always possible, since you will need to back up your claims about the arguments that you write. So, whenever you are writing, that should accompany citing some evidence as proof of your argument(s).

The ideas or sentences you borrow or paraphrase from others, published or unpublished (working papers), must be cited properly, and in proper place, in proper manner. Haphazard citation or improper, incomplete citation should be avoided as far as practicable, more so when you are writing working papers or research papers. It is you who is responsible for the creation of your ideas, thoughts as contents of your own research. As a responsible agent, you are giving some knowledge, perhaps new knowledge, or sharing something you know, or something which people do not know. But first ensure that it is your own, and just only your own. Else, don't take any risk in this age of media since you can get ridiculed in the public. Be responsible for your own work. There is no pardon in plagiarism, in whatsoever manner, since you cannot put in any excuse after you steal from others, anything, and then when you are caught, your lame excuse would not stand.

In research, you are also giving new knowledge, but YOU MUST CHECK "if that is your own knowledge first",- by searching your school or University library and the internet. Some books are not archived as yet, but if your ideas or outputs coincide with those, or if someone later challenges you that the material you have penned down is found in a remote library, perhaps written by some unknown author, then it is your job to acknowledge such knowledge, since that is not your own knowledge.

Even if your imaginations or thoughts are unique, but needs no citation, you must double-check to make it sure that what you have thought is not and never thought-off before by someone you have no idea about. This is an existential problem, since if any such ideas exists written by someone else before you, YOU MUST BE CAREFUL not to miss them. One must have a complete idea about what one is doing research about, the sources, origin and resources which are not your own, but borrowed or derived.

Even not citing your own reductive derived knowledge which unintentionally coincides with someone else's ideas is an offence-plagiarism. So, it is better to cite anything you believe is not your own, or even if your own, but that exists.

So, how to avoid plagiarism?

1) Search, search and search, do some good research

2) Write on your own, make your own research unique

3) Make sure that your "own unique" is not penned down by someone else before

4) Back up your arguments with evidence, and cite them in MLA or APA or in other formats

5) Do not miscode or mis-cite

6) Include all in-line references at the end in bibliography or reference page

7)Copying or paraphrasing more than 2 sentences is plagiarism, so avoid multiple contents from a same paper (source)

8)Even when you have reached the depth of your ideation, make sure such does not exist, else, you forget to cite, academics would be hand-in-glove to brand you as a plagiarist

9) Be careful with historical quotes

10) Employing you intuition, if your thoughts coincides with others, cite them properly

11) Ensure a proper, inline and outline citations and references.

12) At least 2-3 citations per page, and 1 per paragraph is a good practice

13)Get your paper reviewed by an "expert" before putting that in a public repository, since, once out in the public view, you can be challenged by anyone. And if you have missed any, it would be easier to tag you as a plagiarist.

So in anyway, the best way to avoid plagiarism is to work heard; that is, search, search and search for references. If you find nothing, then it is your own.
