What is plagiarism?
Plagiarism is presenting someone else’s work or ideas as your own, with or
without their consent, by incorporating it into your work without full
acknowledgement. All published and unpublished material, whether in
manuscript, printed or electronic form, is covered under this definition. Plagiarism
may be intentional or reckless, or unintentional. Under the regulations for
examinations, intentional or reckless plagiarism is a disciplinary offense.
Types of plagiarism:
1. Direct Plagiarism
2. Hired Plagiarism
3. Borrowed Plagiarism
4. Self-Plagiarism
5. patchwork plagiarism
6. Collaboration Plagiarism
7. Contributing Author Plagiarism

10. Bibliography Plagiarism
11. Secondary Source Plagiarism
12. Accidental Plagiarism
A PLAGIARIZED VERSION:
Students often use too many direct quotations when they take notes, resulting in
too many of them in the final research paper. In fact, probably only about 10% of
the final copy should consist of directly quoted material. So it is important to limit
the amount of source material copied while taking notes.
A note about plagiarism: This example has been classed as plagiarism, in part,
because of its failure to deploy any citation. Plagiarism is a serious offense in the
academic world. However, we acknowledge that plagiarism is a difficult term to
define; that its definition may be contextually sensitive; and that not all instances
of plagiarism are created equal—that is, there are varying “degrees of
egregiousness” for different cases of plagiarism.
