Sources with this symbol offer material published in Spanish or translations of English-language materials into Spanish. (Be aware that the services that offer translations are doing so by machine. Machine translation delivers the "gist" of the original document, but does not produce the same level of accuracy that a human translator could provide.)

Plagiarism demonstrates lack of integrity and character. It is inconsistent with the goals and values of NHHS. Review the plagiarism policy to learn about strategies that will help you succeed with honor.

NHHS policy on cheating and plagiarism

To avoid plagiarism, be sure to cite your sources carefully. Use these tips and guidelines:

• Works Cited Page: Basic Format

• Citation format for a book

• Citation format for a magazine, journal, or newspaper article

• Sample Works Cited page

For this project, you may copy and paste citation information from the databases onto your Works Cited page in Word. (See the descriptions in the database section above for tips on finding the source citations within each database.) You will need to construct your own citations for any books, web pages, or online images (other than PowerPoint clipart); for help, review these instructions:
