Many of us would benefit from frank conversations with other scholars about improper borrowing, otherwise known as plagiarism, but the topic is so hot that most professors avoid discussing it, except in warnings to their undergraduates. In this excerpt from her new book, Wendy shares advice on how to build good citation habits and how to avoid plagiarism. She is the author of Writing Your Journal Article in Twelve Weeks, which came out in its second edition this month. She worked as a freelance copyeditor for many years, then served for eleven years as the managing editor of a peer-reviewed journal in ethnic studies at UCLA, and has personally taught hundreds of graduate students and faculty about writing for publication. Wendy Laura Belcher is associate professor of African literature in Princeton University’s departments of Comparative Literature and African American Studies.
