      Hi,

      I know that plagiarism is a copyright offence but here’s what I did anyway. For my literature review section, I copied the needed texts from multiple sources and pasted them in my document (with citation of course). That’s still copying, right? I can’t do that, but how do I remove the plagiarism? Even if I paraphrase the text, it won’t be that correct, would it?

      It’s not about paraphrasing the text. It’s about writing someone else’s findings in your own words. That is how you can avoid plagiarism. Now you got to do a lot of work for that!
