Plagiarism – is using another person’s ideas or creative work without giving credit to that person. It includes:

paraphrasing information from a source without referencing the source

copying & pasting Internet information, graphics or media into your work without citing the source

using someone else’s homework or buying papers or research you did not do and turning it in as if you had done the work yourself

not putting quote marks around parts of sources you copy exactly

All of these are plagiarism when a citation for each source you used is not included in your paper, speech, project, etc.

The definition is: The stealing and passing-off of the ideas or words of another as one’s own. You would be guilty of such if you copied whole-text from a reference-source into a report or thesis-paper without placing the whole of it in quotes and properly annotating the author and source in your sources cited section. If you paraphrase passages, then you are avoiding plagarism, but you had better have a thorough grasp of the meaning of the source text, and a killer vocabulary, before you try this with long, involved, and very technical passages.

You are taking someone else’s work and claiming it as your own instead of giving the other person credit for their work.

That’s plagiarism.

Plagiarism (from Latin plagiare “to kidnap”) is the practice of claiming, or implying, original authorship or incorporating material from someone else’s written or creative work, in whole or in part, into one’s own without adequate acknowledgement.

Plainly Speaking copying others work and pretend as if it’s your own work.

Say for instance,if you copy from wikipedia and if you didn’t source or acknowledge it,it’s one form of Plagiarism.Since Wikipedia is free,even if you don’t source it it’s not plagiarism.

Blatantly using something that someone else wrote and claiming that it is yours, and you can be sued for copyright infringement.
