Q. How can I check my paper for plagiarism?

MTSU uses Turnitin to check papers for originality. The Library does not have access to Turnitin, so please contact your instructor with questions.

Generally, the best ways to avoid plagiarism are to:

• Keep track of your research before you write: A research journal and citation management tool can be a big help.
• Make sure you paraphrase or quote your sources correctly as you write.
• Double-check that you've correctly cited all of your sources after you write.
