About article writing

My question is almost similar to Belinda's. I would like to ask if I write an article and I use some other articles as a reference, eg. if I use Stone's training guide as a reference, do i need to list the references that I use at the end of my article?

No you dont!
As long as you change the article into your own words!
Thats A MUST!
I think we all at times use other peoples work for ideas to write new articles!
I know I do!

Hi Vorales,
You need to put a reference only if you copy the whole article word to word.
If you use it as inspiration or a base for your article then, there is no need.

Hi Vorales,

Accepted writing guidelines (APA, etc.) dictate that if you "copy exact words or a unique phrase" you need to credit the source. That quote comes from this Purdue resource on the specifics and gray areas of plagiarism:

Avoiding Plagiarism: Is It Plagiarism Yet? - The OWL at Purdue

One standard of good writing ethics is, generally, "when in doubt, give credit."

Happy trails,

Janet Wilson
