What is Plagiarism?
1Slide2
In the 1st century, the use of the Latin word plagiarius (literally kidnapper), to denote someone stealing someone else's work, was pioneered by Roman poet Martial
, who complained that another poet had "kidnapped his verses." This use of the word was introduced into English in 1601 by dramatist Ben Jonson, to describe as a plagiary someone guilty of
literary theft
.The derived form plagiarism was introduced into English around 1620.
Etymology of the word “plagiarism”

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/PlagiarismSlide3
According to the Merriam-Webster On-Line Dictionary, to “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.

1. Plagiarism can occur on any academic assignment, not just papers. 2. Plagiarism is not limited to copying other peoples’ work, but includes failing to cite your sources properly or revising others’ work
to make it sound like your own. 3. If you don’t use quotation marks correctly, you are plagiarizing! If you don’t use footnotes correctly, you are plagiarizing! If you copy someone else’s work and try to mask it by changing words or sentences around, you are plagiarizing!
So what is plagiarism?

http://gme.cchange.com/Portals/7/Images/07/plagiarism.pdfSlide7
According to U.S. law, the answer is yes. In the United States and many other countries, the expression of original ideas is considered intellectual property, and is protected by copyright laws
, just like original inventions. Almost all forms of expression fall under copyright protection as long as they are recorded in some media (such as a book or a computer file).
But can words and ideas really be stolen?

Reading the following line, can you guess the meaning of the term self-plagiarism.
"Self-plagiarism involves dishonesty but not intellectual theft.“ David B. Resnik
Self-plagiarism
13
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/PlagiarismSlide14
Self-plagiarism (also known as "recycling fraud") is the reuse of significant, identical, or nearly identical portions of one's own work without acknowledging that one is doing so or without citing the original work
.It is common for university researchers to rephrase and republish their own work, tailoring it for different academic journals and newspaper articles, to disseminate their work to the widest possible interested public
.
One of the functions of the process of peer review in academic writing is to prevent this type of "recycling".

The concept of "self-plagiarism" has been challenged as self-contradictory.Stephanie J. Bird argues that self-plagiarism is a misnomer, since by definition plagiarism concerns the
use of others' material.Bird identifies that in an educational context, "self-plagiarism" refers to the case of a student who resubmits "the same essay for credit in two different courses."

In the academic world, plagiarism by students is usually considered a very serious offense that can result in punishments such as a failing grade on the particular assignment, the entire course, or even being expelled from the institution. Generally, the punishment increases as a person enters higher institutions of learning. For cases of repeated plagiarism, or for cases in which a student commits severe plagiarism (e.g., submitting a copied piece of writing as original work),
suspension or expulsion is likely.
