When can we say that this work is plagiarized?
Plagiarism as stealing another’s work or copying somebody else’s original point of ideas. It is when you use other’s production without their permission. It is when someone is presenting an idea as new and original or creation derived from an remaining source.
TYPES OF PLAGIARISM:
Direct Plagiarism
Direct plagiarism is the word-for-word transcript of a unit of somebody else’s work, without acknowledgement and without quotation marks. The considered plagiarism of someone else’s work is unethical, academically dishonest, and grounds for disciplinary actions, including eviction.
Self Plagiarism
Self-plagiarism happens when a student submits his or her own earlier work, or blends parts of previous works, without consent from all professors involved. For example, it would be improper to incorporate part of a term paper you wrote in high school into a paper assigned in a college course. Self-plagiarism also applies to presenting the same piece of work for assignments in different classes without previous permission from both professors.
Mosaic Plagiarism
Mosaic Plagiarism arises when a student copies phrases from a source without using quotation marks, or finds replacements for the author’s language while keeping to the same general structure and connotation of the original. Sometimes termed “patch writing,” this type of paraphrasing, whether intentional or not, is academically dishonest and punishable – even if you footnote your source.
