The Citation ProjectThe Citation Project is a multi-institution research project responding to educators’ concerns about plagiarism and the teaching of writing....Our team systematically studies student papers that were produced in college writing courses and that draw on sources. Our purpose is to describe how student writers use their sources. With this information, educators will be able to make informed decisions about best practices for formulating plagiarism policies and for teaching rhetorically effective and ethically responsible methods of writing from sources.
