one's own original.

3. Types of plagiarism
Four kind of plagiarism are identified as below:
Direct plagiarism: Verbatim lifting of passages without
enclosing the borrowed material in quotation marks and
crediting the original author.
Mosaic: Borrowing the ideas and opinions from the original
source and a few verbatim words or phrases without crediting
the original author. In this case, the plagiarist intertwines his or
her own ideas and opinions with those of the original author,
creating a “confused, plagiarized mass”.
Paraphrase: Restating a phrase or passage, providing the
same meaning but in a different form without attribution to the
original author.
Insufficient acknowledgement: Noting the original source of
only part of what is borrowed or failing to cite the source
material in such a way that a reader will know what is original
and what is borrowed.”

4. How to avoid plagiarism

5. Use these three strategies
Quoting
Quotations are the exact words of an author, copied directly
from a source, word for word. Quotations must be cited.
Paraphrasing
Paraphrasing means rephrasing the words of an author, putting
his/her thoughts in your own words. When you paraphrase,
you rework the source’s ideas, words, phrases, and sentence
structures with your own. Like quotations, paraphrased
material must be followed with in-text documentation and
cited on your Works-Cited page.
Summarizing
Summarizing involves putting the main idea(s) of one or several writers in
to your own words, including only the main point(s). Summaries
are significantly shorter than the original and take a broad overview of
the source material. Again, it is necessary to attribute summarized ideas to
their original sources.

7. Helpful Suggestions:
3 Word Rule: Do not copy more than three consecutive words

Restating in YOUR Words: If you really like the way a paragraph
is written, read the paragraph again for the information;
Noting things like dates, times, etc. and then explain it in your
own words.
Being Knowledgeable: Really know your topic well. The more
You Can explain it and understand it, the less likely you are to
Unintentionally plagiarize.
