Solution

Yes, this is considered plagiarism. Plagiarism is not only about copying someone else's work but also about not properly citing the sources you used in your research. Even if the source does not have a specific author, it is still a source of information and should be credited accordingly. Here are the steps you should follow:

  1. Identify the title of the webpage or article you are using.
  2. Note the URL of the webpage.
  3. Identify the date when the information was published or last updated.
  4. In your assignment, when you use information from this source, make sure to include a citation. This can be a footnote, a parenthetical citation, or a note in the bibliography, depending on the citation style you are using.
  5. The citation should include as much information as possible: the title of the webpage, the URL, and the date of publication or last update.

By following these steps, you can avoid plagiarism and properly credit all the sources you used in your research.
