Require a Handbook

“One useful avenue in preventing plagiarism (perhaps only unintentional plagiarism) is to require at program entry that every student purchase a copy of a standard referencing and style textbook.” (Saunders, 1993) However, to require a handbook is not enough. Students must be shown how to use it.

In addition to handbooks, instructors might refer students to the Code of Ethics for your discipline.
