Plagiarism


DEFINITION
What is plagiarism? Plagiarism is an act where someone is taking or stealing someone else’s works, ideas, thoughts as your own original work with or without their knowledge and consent. Plagiarism is a crime and you can be punished in a court for prejudices caused by copyright infringement, violation of moral rights, or lawsuit.
Why is it wrong to do plagiarism? First, because it is a form of theft. By taking someone else’s thought and idea and pretending like it is your own is really unethical. Second, you are really a bad person if you take any profit from it.
There are so many types of plagiarism but I will only discuss 4 common types of plagiarism:
1.      Direct Plagiarism
Direct plagiarism is copying someone else’s work word for word without the use of quotation marks and then acknowledge it as your own work.
2.      Self-Plagiarism
Self-plagiarism is the reuse of one's own work significantly, identically, or nearly identical, without reference to the original work.
3.      Paraphrasing Plagiarism
This type of plagiarism is using someone's work with some small differences in the sentence and use it as your own. Even if the word by word is different, the original idea is still the same and plagiarism occurs.
4.      Accidental Plagiarism
This plagiarism occurs when you don't understand how to paraphrase, quote, and cite. People can assume that your research is original from your ideas or thoughts, when in fact you took some words from a book or website and you do not include an in-text citation.
