What is plagiarism

Source
Plagiarism is a process in which a person stole data from other's work and pretend that it belongs to it's own data.

• Plagiarism include stolen ideas, thought, article work or someone expressions and pretend that its his own.
• In plagiarism a person may get data from someone work without giving him credit or with out giving citation.

You don't want to become guilty of plagiarism by letting someone else's words get inadvertently mixed in with your own. If you do feel the need to paste in a block of research while you're writing, be sure to highlight the copied text in a different color so you can go back and remove or rewrite it entirely later.
