Plagiarism is an illegal form of copying. It means taking another person's work (without asking) and alling it your own. Plagiarism can be accidental or intentional. Copying an entire essay or story and calling it your own is plagiarism. Copying one sentence wordto word without "quotations" is also plagiarism. Wheather you hand it in to a teacher or post it in your blog plagiarism is against the law in most nations.
Example of plagiarism
- copying and pasting from the Internet and posting somewhere else without proper citation
- putting your name on another person's essay or project
- copying exact wording from another person's text
- using another person's photo, diagram, sounds, or ideas without proper citation
- presenting research in your own words without providing your references
- purchasing another person's text and using it as your own.
