Definition, Examples, and How to Avoid It

Definition of plagiarism: presenting someone else’s ideas as your own.

Whether accidental or intentional, plagiarism is a serious violation.

Accidental Plagiarism Intentional Plagiarism Self-Plagiarism, Double Dipping, or Dovetailing

Omitting quotation marks Using vague citations (ex: end of paragraph) Incorrect paraphrasing

Eliminating a citation for information that comes from another source. Using an incorrect citation so that the reader cannot locate the source. Using another student’s work as your own. Purchasing an essay from an Internet website.

Using an essay from a free Internet website. Copying a quotation without using quotation marks. Writing material very close to the original—changing only a few words by using synonyms.

Self-plagiarism is just as serious as any other type of plagiarism and carries the same consequences. This type of plagiarism occurs when you Copy words without citation from a paper you had previously written Paraphrase information from your previously written paper Submit a paper written for another class (with or without changes)

Example 1 : Paraphrasing or summarizing information from another source that is correctly documented. This includes using a correct in-text citation and reference page entry. Example 2 : Using quotation marks (“) for words copied directly from a source and including a citation with page or paragraph numbers.

Example 3 : Copying information from an Internet source and using quotation marks and a citation, including page or paragraph number. Example 4 : Using a citation for all information that is not common knowledge, including visual images, charts, and graphs. Common knowledge that most people know does not require a citation because it is known to general readers. Common knowledge should be written in your own words.
