Answer 1

Plagiarism is copying someone else's work without giving them credit. Blatant or purposeful plagiarism would be copying an essay or writing from a book and attaching your name to it. Accidental plagiarism is copying all or part of a work, or paraphrasing it, without giving the correct citation. Citations are usually given in MLA (Modern Language Association) or APA (American Psychological Association) style. This can include writing the author's name and page number in parentheses in your essay, and typing out the entire source in a bibliography, including the name of the publication, date it was published, and the publisher. Some people attempt to cite their sources, but do it incorrectly, so it is still considered plagiarism even though it wasn't intended.

P.S.- One of the answerers here is plagiarizing. I'll let you figure out which one. It's not that difficult.

P.P.S.- Hey Alsnowh, at least Anyone cited her source, which is more than I can say for another answerer.

Types of plagiarism
Anyone who has written or graded a paper knows that plagiarism is not always a black and white issue. The boundary between plagiarism and research is often unclear. Learning to recognize the various forms of plagiarism, especially the more ambiguous ones, is an important step towards effective prevention.Many people think of plagiarism as copying another's work, or borrowing someone else's original ideas. But terms like "copying" and "borrowing" can disguise the seriousness of the offense:

Sources Not Cited
"The Ghost Writer"
The writer turns in another's work, word-for-word, as his or her own.
"The Photocopy"
The writer copies significant portions of text straight from a single source, without alteration.
"The Potluck Paper"
The writer tries to disguise plagiarism by copying from several different sources, tweaking the sentences to make them fit together while retaining most of the original phrasing.
"The Poor Disguise"
Although the writer has retained the essential content of the source, he or she has altered the paper's appearance slightly by changing key words and phrases.
"The Labor of Laziness"
The writer takes the time to paraphrase most of the paper from other sources and make it all fit together, instead of spending the same effort on original work.
"The Self-Stealer"
The writer "borrows" generously from his or her previous work, violating policies concerning the expectation of originality adopted by most academic institutions.
Sources Cited (but still plagiarized)
"The Forgotten Footnote"
The writer mentions an author's name for a source, but neglects to include specific information on the location of the material referenced. This often masks other forms of plagiarism by obscuring source locations.
"The Misinformer"
The writer provides inaccurate information regarding the sources, making it impossible to find them.
"The Too-Perfect Paraphrase"
The writer properly cites a source, but neglects to put in quotation marks text that has been copied word-for-word, or close to it. Although attributing the basic ideas to the source, the writer is falsely claiming original presentation and interpretation of the information.
"The Resourceful Citer"
The writer properly cites all sources, paraphrasing and using quotations appropriately. The catch? The paper contains almost no original work! It is sometimes difficult to spot this form of plagiarism because it looks like any other well-researched document.
"The Perfect Crime"
Well, we all know it doesn't exist. In this case, the writer properly quotes and cites sources in some places, but goes on to paraphrase other arguments from those sources without citation. This way, the writer tries to pass off the paraphrased material as his or her own analysis of the cited material.

Plagiarism is knowingly using of someone elses talent for your own purposes.
Plagiarism (from Latin plagiare "to kidnap") is the practice of claiming, or implying, original authorship or incorporating material from someone else's written or creative work, in whole or in part, into one's own without adequate acknowledgement. Unlike cases of forgery, in which the authenticity of the writing, document, or some other kind of object, itself is in question, plagiarism is concerned with the issue of false attribution. Plagiarism can also occur unconsciously; in some cultures certain forms of plagiarism are accepted because the concept can be interpreted differently.

Within academia, plagiarism by students, professors, or researchers is considered academic dishonesty or academic fraud and offenders are subject to academic censure. In journalism, plagiarism is considered a breach of journalistic ethics, and reporters caught plagiarizing typically face disciplinary measures ranging from suspension to termination. Some individuals caught plagiarizing in academic or journalistic contexts claim that they plagiarized unintentionally, by failing to include quotations or give the appropriate citation. While plagiarism in scholarship and journalism has a centuries-old history, the development of the Internet, where articles appear as electronic text, has made the physical act of copying the work of others much easier, simply by copying and pasting text from one web page to another.

Plagiarism is different from copyright infringement. While both terms may apply to a particular act, they emphasize different aspects of the transgression. Copyright infringement is a violation of the rights of the copyright holder, when material is used without the copyright holder's consent. On the other hand, plagiarism is concerned with the unearned increment to the plagiarizing author's reputation that is achieved through false claims of authorship.


Someone tells a person a story and the person writes it down and says they authored the story.

Answer 7

It is stealing someone's ideas or storyline. I did it in the 10th grade because I couldn't think of anything to write about. I picked some lame story by Mark Twain about a good boy and a bad boy and changed names and put it in my own words in a short story. Got an A too. My teacher was also the gym teacher, didn't seem that bright. I would only recommend it for teachers who aren't that with it.

Answer 8

Plagiarizing is using someone else's words without their permission and without giving them credit, like the people that quote from Wikipedia on here, hoping that using someone else's work will earn them points because they sound intelligent. (I would be more impressed if they remembered to take out the numbers from the wikipedia page...loozers. :-P)

Answer 9

Plagiarizing is taking part or all of someone else's work (typically writing) and presenting it to someone else claiming (or at least not denying) that it is your work.

It is, essentially, stealing, since you are taking credit for work that you did not perform.

In most schools it is grounds for suspension or dismisal.

If the writing is published, it is grounds for law suit.

Answer 10

Plagarism is putting forward information as your own which you have stolen from someone else. Since this act is considered stealing, it is a crime, and punishable by law.
You may include material from another writer in your writings, but you must cite them as the author of the material in question.
