Forms of plagiarism
There are a number of forms of plagiarism (Plagiarism.org, 2017), such as:
- Submit someone else's work as if it were yours.
- Copy words or ideas from someone else without mentioning the source.
- Quoting a literal quote without putting it in quotes.
- Provide false information about the source of a quote.
- Changing a few words, but taking the sentence structure of a source, without mentioning the source.
- Taking so many words or ideas from a source that it forms the largest part of your work, without providing the source.
- Using images from a source without acknowledging the source.
Note: even if you give the information in a source in your own words (paraphrasing), you still have to mention the source!
