What is PLAGIARISM?
An act or instance of using or closely imitating the language and thoughts of another author without authorization and the representation of that author's work as one's own, as by not crediting the original author.
This covers not only ‘cheating’ but also poor academic practice, perhaps by accident, such as a lack of references, or the use of ideas from sources without citing them fully.
Plagiarism includes:
Stealing or copying someone else’s work
Paying someone to write your assignment
Copying from another source without citing (on purpose or by accident)
Failing to put a quotation in quotation marks
Giving incorrect information about the source of a quotation
Changing words but copying the sentence structure of a source without giving credit
Types of Plagiarism
Intentional Plagiarism
Unintentional Plagiarism
Citation Confusion
Plagiarism vs. Paraphrasing
Both of them are equally serious and would cause heavy penalties.
Remember, it is plagiarism if you borrow from your OWN previous work.
Citations and Referencing
What is citation?
A "citation" is the way you inform in your writing that certain material in your work came from another source. It also gives your readers the information necessary to find that source again, including:
information about the author
the title of the work
the name and location of the company that published your copy of the source
the date your copy was published
the page numbers of the material you are borrowing
