Plagiarism is the act of revealing another person's thoughts or words as if they were your own, without permission, credit, or recognition, or by neglecting to properly reference the sources. Plagiarism may take several forms, ranging from blatant copying to paraphrasing the work of others. To accurately determine if an author has plagiarized, we highlight the following probable scenarios:
- An author may literally duplicate another author's work--word for word, in whole or in part, without permission, acknowledgment, or citation of the original source. This technique can be recognized by comparing the original source to the manuscript/work that is accused of plagiarism.
- considerable copying occurs when an author reproduces a considerable portion of another author's work without permission, acknowledgement, or reference. The term significant may be regarded in terms of both quality and quantity, and it is commonly used in the context of intellectual property. Quality refers to the copyrighted text's relative value in relation to the whole work.
- Paraphrasing is the process of incorporating ideas, words, or phrases from another source into new sentences inside a piece of writing. This approach becomes unethical when the author fails to properly cite or recognize the original work or author. This sort of plagiarism is the most difficult to detect.
