Is this plagiarism?Direct quotation: “When a significant violation of public trust
has occurred, lying is a common corollary because the wrongdoing invites concealment” (Fleming & Zyglidopoulos, 2008, p. 838).

lying is often the result because this action invites concealment (Fleming & Zyglidopoulos, 2008).

their actions when they are discovered to have taken advantage of the public (Fleming & Zyglidopoulos, 2008).
Avoiding plagiarism If you include any ideas or sentences in
your paper that come from elsewhere (e.g., articles, books, websites), you need to acknowledge those sources.
Citing a document incorrectly is always better than not citing it.
Leave yourself time to cite your sources.
