Lesson 2: Plagiarism Flashcards
is the representation of
another’s language, thoughts, ideas,
or expressions as one’s own original
work
- Plagiarism
is the act of
using another person’s words or ideas
without giving credit to that
person: the act of plagiarizing
something.
Plagiarism
(literally “kidnapper”) to denote
stealing someone else’s work was pioneered
by the Roman poet Martial, who complained
that another poet had “kidnapped his
verses”. Plagiary, a derivative of plagiarus,
was introduced into English in 1601 by
dramatist Ben Johnson during the Jacobean
Era to describe someone guilty of literary
theft
“plagiarius”
- Desire to get a good grade
- Fear of failing
- Procrastination or poor time
management - Disinterest in the assignment
- Belief they will not get caught
- Confusion about what constitutes
plagiarism or current university

Common Reasons Why Students Plagiarize
Forms/Types of Plagiarism
- Direct or Verbatim Plagiarism
- Auto-Plagiarism or Self-Plagiarism or Duplication
- Paraphrasing/Incremental Plagiarism
- Inaccurate authorship or misleading attribution
- Mosaic Plagiarism
- Accidental Plagiarism
occurs when an author copies
the text of another author,
word for word, without the
use of quotation marks or
attribution, thus passing it as
his or her own.
➢ Direct or Verbatim Plagiarism
, happens when
an author reuses significant
portions of his or her
previously published work
without attribution.
➢ Auto-Plagiarism, also known
as Self-Plagiarism or
Duplication
involves the use of
someone else’s writing with some
minor changes in the sentences
and using it as one’s own. Even if
the words differ, the original idea
remains the same and plagiarism
occurs.
➢ Paraphrasing/Incremental
Plagiarism
happens in two
ways:
A. When an individual contributes to a manuscript but does not get
credit for it
B. When an individual gets credit without contributing to the work
It is also possible to commit this form of plagiarism when
someone else edits a manuscript, leading to substantive changes. In
this case, the recommendation is to acknowledge the contributors at
the time of publication, even if they are not listed as authors.
➢ Inaccurate authorship or misleading attribution
may be more
difficult to detect because it
interlays someone else’s phrases
or text within its own research. It
is also known as patchwork
plagiarism and it is intentional
and dishonest.
➢ Mosaic Plagiarism
occurs because of neglect,
mistake, or unintentional
paraphrasing.
➢ Accidental Plagiarism
▪ It is a breach of academic integrity.
▪ It is a principle of intellectual honesty that all members of the academic
community should acknowledge their debt to the originators of the ideas,
words, and data which form the basis for their own work.
▪ Passing off another’s work as your own is not only poor scholarship, but
also means that you have failed to complete the learning process.
▪ Plagiarism is unethical and can have serious consequences for your future
career.
▪ it also undermines the standards of your institution and of the degrees it
issues.
Why does Plagiarism matter?
▪ You have come to a university to learn to know and speak your own
mind, not merely to reproduce the opinions of others - at least not
without attribution.
▪ Avoid plagiarism because you aspire to produce work of the highest
quality.
▪ It is important to appreciate that the mastery of the techniques of
academic writing is not merely a practical skill, but one that lends
both credibility and authority to your work, and demonstrates your
commitment to the principle of intellectual honesty in scholarship
