Defining Plagiarism

Understanding Plagiarism






Some Common Examples of plagiarism are: copying someone else's words without using quotation marks and citing (giving credit to) the source,

paraphrasing or summarizing someone else's words without citing the source,

quoting someone else's words inaccurately,

restating someone else's original or specialized ideas without citing the source,

misrepresenting someone else's words or ideas,

citing the wrong source, and
pretending someone else's work is your own.

Note: Text isn't the only thing that can be plagiarized. You also must credit the sources of images, graphics, charts, drawings, video, music, etc.
