PLAGIARISM

Plagiarism is when one without the consent of the original owner or initiator copyies his ideas, thoughts, expressions, text, audio, video or intellectual property ( creative work) , and presents it as if he is the originator, creator or initiator.

Most common types of Plagiarism include:

Direct plagiarism: The word-for-word transcription of a section of someone else’s work, without attribution and without quotation marks." ^Source

Self-plagiarism occurs when one mixes parts of previous works, without permission from all authors or involved." ^Source

Mosaic Plagiarism occurs when one borrows phrases from a source without using quotation marks, or finds synonyms for the author’s language while keeping to the same general structure and meaning of the original." ^Source

Accidental plagiarism occurs when a person neglects to cite their, or misquotes their sources, or unintentionally paraphrases a source by using similar words, groups of words, and/or sentence structure without attribution." ^Source

"Generally, plagiarism is not in itself a crime, but like counterfeiting fraud can be punished in a Court for prejudices caused by copyright infringement, violation of moral rights or rorts Plagiarism and copyright infringement overlap to a considerable extent, but many types of plagiarism do not constitute copyright infringement." ^Source

To avoid Plagiarism ensure that you give credit to the work you are copying and cite the source of that work.
