Plagiarism
From English 194 Wiki Site
Plagiarism
Plagiarism refers to both academic dishonesty and copyright infringement, pointing to the unethical use of another person's idea, information, sequences of language or writing. It is recognized as someone attempting to present another's work as their own. There are such cases where the use of another's work is not properly given credit, or that regulations are not properly understood, but intentionally claiming someone else's work is plagiarism, although ignorance does not protect the user.
"Three acts are plagiarism: (1) failing to cite quotations and borrowed ideas, (2) failing to enclose borrowed language in quotation marks and (3) failing to put summaries and paraphrases in your own words."
A Pocket Style Manual, 4h ed., 2004 Bedford/St. Martin's. "Self-plagiarism is the act of copying one's published or submitted writing (or products or ideas) without attribution of the source. For example, in academic assignments, the submission of the same paper (or substantially similar papers) in more than one course is considered self-plagiarism, as is the uncited use of one's published material."
