According to the Merriam-Webster online dictionary, "plagiarize" means:
~To steal and pass off (the ideas or words of another) as one's own.
~To use (another's production) without crediting the source.
~To commit literary theft.
~To present as new and original an idea or product derived from an existing source.
In other words, plagiarism is an act of fraud.
It involves both stealing someone else's work and lying about it afterward.
All of the following are considered plagiarism:
~Turning into someone else's work as your own.
~Copying words or ideas from someone else without giving credit
~Failing to put a quotation in quotation marks.
~Giving incorrect information about the source of a quotation.
~Changing words but copying the sentence structure of a source without giving credit.
~Copying so many words or ideas from a source that it makes up the majority of your work, whether you give credit or not.
Most cases of plagiarism can be avoided, however, by citing sources.
Simply acknowledging that certain material has been borrowed and providing your audience with the information necessary to find that source is usually enough to prevent plagiarism.
This is from Meriam Webster Dictionary online, plagiarism is a serious matter so respect others work.
