Plagiarism is presenting someone else’s words or ideas as your own without proper credit. The examples that demonstrate plagiarism are:
- Two different websites contain exactly the same paragraph about heart disease. (Copying text without attribution is plagiarism.)
- A group of medical students summarize information from a textbook in their own words and do not cite their sources. (Paraphrasing without citation is still plagiarism.)
The other two examples (doctor with referenced research; students who paraphrase and cite sources) are not plagiarism because the original sources are properly credited.
- Two different websites contain exactly the same paragraph about heart disease. (Copying text without attribution is plagiarism.)
- A group of medical students summarize information from a textbook in their own words and do not cite their sources. (Paraphrasing without citation is still plagiarism.)
The other two examples (doctor with referenced research; students who paraphrase and cite sources) are not plagiarism because the original sources are properly credited.
