To avoid unintentional plagiarism in academic papers, the author should first develop an outline of the material they are planning to include in their paper. It is then important to revise and edit the content thoroughly before submitting. When including outside sources, such as journals and scholarly articles, proper citation methods should be used according to their publishing style guide (APA, MLA, etc.). The author should also run a plagiarism check at the conclusion of their work to ensure none has been introduced into the paper unintentionally.

To avoid plagiarism in academic papers, citations and sources should always be properly acknowledged and identified. Sources should be documented accurately according to the respective citation style, such as APA or MLA. Additionally, paraphrasing or summarising sources verbatim should be avoided if possible. Authors should strive to express ideas in their own words while still maintaining the accuracy of the original source material.
