The type of plagiarism that is taking place in this example is paraphrasing plagiarism. Plagiarism takes place when a person takes the ideas of a particular source or author and passes them as his own. This occurs when an author does not give credit to the original source of the ideas. However, paraphrasing plagiarism is a type of plagiarism in which the ideas of the original source are rewritten or rearranged so that they do not look identical, but can nevertheless be recognized as the same ideas.
