Here are some tips on how to make a research paper no plagiarism:

 Cite your sources correctly. This means giving credit to the original author for
their work. You can cite your sources using a variety of styles, such as APA,
MLA, or Chicago.
 Use your own words. When you are summarizing or paraphrasing a source, be
sure to put it in your own words. This means avoiding direct quotes and using
your own sentence structure and vocabulary.
 Use quotation marks if you do quote directly. If you need to quote directly from a
source, be sure to enclose the quote in quotation marks and cite the source
correctly.
 Use a plagiarism checker. There are a number of plagiarism checkers available
online. You can use a plagiarism checker to scan your paper for any instances of
plagiarism.

Here are some additional tips to avoid plagiarism:

 Take good notes. When you are taking notes from sources, be sure to write
down the author's name, the title of the source, and the page number where you
found the information. This will make it easier to cite your sources correctly when
you are writing your paper.
 Keep track of your sources. Create a bibliography or reference list of all the
sources you used for your paper. This will help you to keep track of your sources
and to cite them correctly.
 Be honest. If you are unsure about whether or not something is plagiarism, it is
always best to err on the side of caution and cite the source.

It is important to note that plagiarism is a serious offense. If you are caught plagiarizing,
you could face disciplinary action from your school or university. You could also lose
your reputation and your credibility.

Here are some examples of plagiarism:

 Direct plagiarism: Copying text or ideas from a source without citing the source.
 Paraphrasing plagiarism: Paraphrasing a source without citing the source.
 Self-plagiarism: Using your own previously published work without citing yourself.
If you are unsure about whether or not something is plagiarism, it is always best to
consult with your professor or a librarian.
