What Are the Kinds of Plagiarism?

There are many kinds of plagiarism; they include

using someone else’s paper

using parts of someone else’s paper

quoting but not using a citation

quoting too closely, without quotation marks, but with citation

changing words around but not giving a citation

using material from the Internet, thinking that the Internet is free so the information is there for the taking

reading work on the Internet but not giving a citation.

Using someone else’s paper, whether it is a friend’s paper or a paper from a pay site is dishonest.  It is plagiarism.

Using parts of someone else’s paper is dishonest.  It is not your work.  It is plagiarism.

Papers, answers to the questions, and essays written in journals and on the Internet are the work of someone else.  They are the intellectual property of someone else.  Taking them and using them without quotations or citation or documentation is a theft of intellectual property.  If, for example, you were employed by XYZ Corporation and a co-worker’s report was sitting on her desk, would you take it and hand it to your boss as your work?  Hopefully, the answer is no.  But using Internet sources, journal articles, and someone else’s work and handing it in as your own is the same practice:  it is theft of intellectual property, plagiarism.

Quoting parts of a paper found on the Internet or in journals without using quotation marks and citations is plagiarism

Changing words around but keeping the idea of the original without a citation is plagiarism
