Plagiarism is the expression of another person's thoughts or words as if they were your own, without permission, credit, or recognition, or because it does not cite the source properly. Plagiarism can occur in various forms, from literal copying to paraphrasing someone else's work. To accurately assess whether an author has plagiarized, we emphasize the following possible situations:

An author can literally copy another author's work by copying it word for word, in whole or in part, without permission, acknowledging or citing the original source. This practice can be identified by comparing the original source with the manuscript/work suspected of plagiarism.

Substantial copying means that an author reproduces a significant portion of another author's work, without permission, acknowledgement, or citation. The term substantial can be understood in terms of both quality and quantity, which is often used in the context of intellectual property. Quality refers to the relative value of the copied text in comparison to the work as a whole.

Paraphrasing involves taking ideas, words, or phrases from a source and putting them together in a new sentence in writing. This practice becomes unethical when the writer fails to properly cite or acknowledge the original work/author. This form of plagiarism is the most difficult to identify.
