Three tips against plagiarism: 1. Distinguish other people’s ideas from your own 2. Reference the original source 3. Identify the original source so that it can be traced back Designed by starline / Freepik Adobe Systems Plagiarism ̶How to avoid plagiarism: Student handbook (Foltýnek et al., 2020) Different types of plagiarism: Word-for-word plagiarism „Copying a whole text or a part of a text written by someone else without declaring its source and pretending that it is your own work […]. Plagiarism also occurs when the text is referenced, but it is unclear what is and isn’t your own idea. […] If we use a source in several places, the reference must be included in all places where we make use of the text.“ Adobe Systems „This results from compiling several short segments of text from different sources, without stating a reference for each reproduced segment. Always state all your sources, even if you’re only citing a portion of a sentence. It does not suffice to list all sources in the bibliography. We must also refer to each source within the text.“ Plagiarism ̶How to avoid plagiarism: Student handbook (Foltýnek et al., 2020) Different types of plagiarism: Mosaic plagiarism Adobe Systems Plagiarism ̶How to avoid plagiarism: Student handbook (Foltýnek et al., 2020) Different types of plagiarism: Paraphrase or translation without source „The original idea is what counts. Even if we describe it in our own words – that is, we paraphrase – or we translate it from a different language, it is not our own idea. Accordingly, we must reference it.“ Adobe Systems „When we reuse our own work that has already been published or that we have already submitted for a different course, and we don’t reference it, that constitutes self-plagiarism. That is because we repeatedly gain an advantage from the same work or its part, such as an educational grade or scientific recognition.“ Plagiarism ̶How to avoid plagiarism: Student handbook (Foltýnek et al., 2020) Different types of plagiarism: Self-plagiarism Adobe Systems How to cite? ̶Choose a referencing style and use it consistently in your text, e.g.: ̶ ČSN ISO 690 https://www.citace.com/CSN-ISO-690 APA https://owl.purdue.edu/owl/research_and_citation/apa_style/apa_formattingand_style_guide/index.html ̶ Amazon.com: Publication Manual (OFFICIAL) 7th Edition of the American Psychological Association: 9781433832178: American Psychological Association Adobe Systems How to cite? Examples… ̶In-text citations: ̶Direct quotation: „Plagiarism is the use (of ideas, content or structures) of another work without appropriately acknowledging the source to benefit in a setting where originality is expected“ (Foltýnek et al., 2019, p. 9). ̶Paraphrasing: In their guidebook, Foltýnek and his colleagues (2019) give students tips against plagiarism, such as differentiating our own thoughts and ideas from those of others and always refering to the original sources. ̶ ̶References / bibliography: ̶List all sources you used in your text. ̶ ̶Foltýnek, T., Černikovský, P., Fontana, J., Gojná, Z., Henek Dlabolová, D., Holeček, T., Hradecký, J., Kozmanová, I., Mach, J., Římanová, R., Tesaříková Čermáková, K., Válová, A., Vorel, F., & Vorlová, H.

You need to introduce a bit broader topic and use at least two academic sources! Do not forget to properly cite your references! Do not feel constrained by these examples.
