With Zotero:

• You can save, organize, and manage your citations for research projects, and synchronize your library for access anywhere you have an Internet connection.
  

• You can automatically generate reference lists from your Zotero library in whatever style you need – and change the style if needed – AND you don’t have to hand type it.

• You can easily insert in-text citations into your paper with a couple clicks – again with freedom to change the citation style all you want and automatically generate your reference list.

• If you are working on group projects/papers or working with a faculty member on their research, you can create group libraries in Zotero to easily collaborate on compiling research resources.

*Direct Plagiarism

Word-for-word transcription of a section of someone else’s work without attribution. The deliberate plagiarism of someone else's work is unethical, academically dishonest, and grounds for disciplinary actions, including expulsion.

*Mosaic Plagiarism

Occurs when a student borrows phrases from a source without using quotation marks, or finds synonyms for the author’s language while keeping to the same general structure and meaning of the original. Sometimes called “patch writing,” this kind of paraphrasing, whether intentional or not, is academically dishonest and punishable – even if you cite your source!
