plagiarism?

M

if you quote someone in-text, and acknowledge the name and page number but accidentally leave them out of your works cited page, is that plagiarism? will it be treated severely?

S

So you are saying that you added the citation but not the reference? If so, it should simply be considered a correction.

M

I quoted an indirect source ie X claimed in 1932 that "...." (quoted in W, p96). But W is missing from my works cited page.

H

Plagiarism is attempting to pass off someone else's work as your own. You haven't done that here - agree it would be a correction.

M

Thanks guys.
