Plagiarism is the exposing of another person's thoughts or words as though they were your own, without permission, credit, or acknowledgement, or because of failing to cite the sources properly. Plagiarism can take diverse forms, from literal copying to paraphrasing the work of another. In order to properly judge whether an author has plagiarized, we emphasize the following possible situations:

An author can literally copy another author's work- by copying word by word, in whole or in part, without permission, acknowledgment, or citation of the original source. This practice can be identified by comparing the original source and the manuscript/work that is suspected of plagiarism.

Substantial copying implies that an author reproduces a substantial part of another author, without permission, acknowledgment, or citation. The substantial term can be understood both in terms of quality and quantity, being often used in the context of Intellectual property. Quality refers to the relative value of the copied text in proportion to the work as a whole.

Paraphrasing involves taking ideas, words or phrases from a source and crafting them into new sentences within the writing. This practise becomes unethical when the author does not properly cite or does not acknowledge the original work/author. This form of plagiarism is the most difficult to identify
