Hey there!

Plagiarism is the use and usual publication, along with taking credit of material that doesn't belong to you. Let's go through our options to find the best way to avoid it.

Carefully rewording passages works, but it's definitely not the most ethical. You're not finding the information yourself - you're just paraphrasing and the work still arguably isn't yours. Using different words doesn't necessarily make the words yours.

Only citing the sources that are well known won't work either. If you're citing the well-known sources, you're giving credit to only a portion of the works you use. That means other authors and companies that aren't really as big won't get the credit they deserve, and you can get in serious trouble.

Using sources nobody else will find doesn't work. There are never publicly available works that nobody else knows about except you, and if anybody finds out even long afterward, you can still get in trouble for copying the work of someone else. It being hard to find makes little difference.

CIting all sources gets you right out of chances of plagiarism. If you correctly cite every source and author you used, you can't get in trouble for plagiarising anything - as you're giving credit in a proper and correct way.

In conclusion, most other ways of preventing plagiarism don't work. The best way to do it is to quote the works you want and not forget to properly cite them.

Hope this helps!
