Plagiarism is defined in the Academic Integrity Policy as "Using another individual’s work (e.g., words, images, ideas, logic, phrases, signatures or computations) and presenting it as one’s own, without properly citing the source" (Key Definitions section). To prevent plagiarism in your own work, you need to cite any source in which you found information or ideas that wouldn't be considered common knowledge.
