Plagiarism is the "wrongful appropriation" and "stealing and publication" of another author's "language, thoughts, ideas, or expressions" and the representation of them as one's own original work. Plagiarism is considered academic dishonesty and a breach of journalistic ethics.
There are various types of plagiarism. Some of them are Copying text "as is" without quotation marks and with no citation or source. Reordering the elements of the source text without citation. Copying pieces (sentences, key phrases) of the source text without citation. Paraphrasing without citation.
