Definition of Plagiarism

Plagiarism is presenting another person's ideas or words as your own without proper permission, credit, or acknowledgment, or due to the failure to properly cite sources. Plagiarism can take several forms, from literal copying to paraphrasing someone else's work. To accurately determine if plagiarism has occurred, we consider the following situations:

Literal Copying: Directly copying another author's work word for word, in whole or in part, without permission, acknowledgment, or citation.
Substantial Copying: Reproducing a significant portion of another person's work without permission, acknowledgment, or citation. This applies both in terms of quantity and quality of the copied material.
Paraphrasing: Taking ideas, words, or phrases from a source and rewriting them in new sentences without proper citation or acknowledgment.

Forms of Plagiarism Include but Are Not Limited To:

Quoting terms, words, sentences, data, or information from a source without citing the source in the citation record or adequately stating the source.
Using ideas, opinions, views, or theories from a source without adequately stating the source.
Rewriting words or sentences from a source's ideas, opinions, views, or theories without proper acknowledgment.
Submitting scientific papers produced or published by others as one's own work without proper acknowledgment.
