Playing by the Rules:
Paraphrasing Plagiarism in
Academic Papers
Have found wonderful information
on the topic of your paper? You need
to be careful here: it’s so easy to fall
into the plagiarism trap. Plagiarism
means not just word-for-word
copying of another author’s work but
also a close imitation of it.
Consequences of plagiarism:
 Destroyed personal and academic
reputation
 Expelling from the course or even
institution
 Legal actions
 Monetary repercussions
So, using another written piece in
your paper requires writing in your
own words and giving a credit to the
original writer (proper citations and
references are mandatory). Here
are some helpful rules of plagiarism
rewording.
One of the trick’s here is using a
few sources of information. If your
paper is based only on one article
or book, chances of plagiarizing
are so much higher. With a few
books, you can create a 100%
original paper.
Read carefully the source and
catch the main idea. If there are
unfamiliar terms, use a thesaurus
and clear things out. Then, put
away that piece and start writing
in your own words without
peeping into it.
If your paper is longer or shorter,
there is no need to worry: it’s
absolutely OK to change words
for plagiarism without keeping
the same length as the original
source. Just present the general
idea, everything else doesn’t
matter so much.
Did you know that copying more
than TWO words in a row is
considered to be plagiarism?
Quite a small number, isn’t it? If
you do that, use quotation marks.
Only in this case, you won’t be
accused of plagiarizing.
Actively use a plagiarism word
changer or thesaurus if you can’t
come up with words to express
some idea. However, be careful
with it: using too fancy words
isn’t a good way to make your
point. How your paper will look
like?
There is a rule of thumb which is
called K.I.S.S. – keep it short and
simple. Make your paper easy to
understand. Fancy vocabulary won’t
impress your teacher.
For paraphrasing plagiarism
you need to change structure
of paragraphs: you need to
restructure them in a
completely new way and still
save the main author’s idea.
Change words plagiarism and
work with the word order. Change
it but make sure your brand new
sentence doesn’t have grammar
mistakes as changing the word
order often needs adding new
words or changing the form of
existing ones.
Try plagiarism rewriter and change from
active voice to passive, and vice versa.
Some experts advise writing preferably in
the active voice. However, if your piece is
grammatically correct and sounds just
fine, why not to vary your piece with
passive voice?
Use citations: not only will it keep
you safe from plagiarism, but also
let your readers follow the way
you’ve conducted your research.
Style: your paraphrase
plagiarism shouldn’t look like
the original source. Write in
your very own style and tone as
the rest of your paper.
You shouldn’t include all details
from the initial source. Define the
most important ones and
paraphrase just them.
Overloading your paper with
plenty of information isn’t right.
When you’re in doubt and not sure
your paraphrase is authentic enough,
give a credit. Put a quote in your
paper or mention the original author
inside your paraphrase.
Cite your own material. Have
helpful info on the topic from
your previous classes? You’re
free to use it but you have to cite
yourself. Yes, you must treat the
work you want to use the same
as you would if another author
composed it.
It’s called self-plagiarism – using papers you
wrote before without proper citing. It’s odd
but a kind of a big deal. So, take it into
account!

Playing By The Rules: Paraphrasing Plagiarism in Academic Papers

  • 1. Playing by the Rules: Paraphrasing Plagiarism in Academic Papers
  • 2. Have found wonderful information on the topic of your paper? You need to be careful here: it’s so easy to fall into the plagiarism trap. Plagiarism means not just word-for-word copying of another author’s work but also a close imitation of it.
  • 3. Consequences of plagiarism:  Destroyed personal and academic reputation  Expelling from the course or even institution  Legal actions  Monetary repercussions
  • 4. So, using another written piece in your paper requires writing in your own words and giving a credit to the original writer (proper citations and references are mandatory). Here are some helpful rules of plagiarism rewording.
  • 5. One of the trick’s here is using a few sources of information. If your paper is based only on one article or book, chances of plagiarizing are so much higher. With a few books, you can create a 100% original paper.
  • 6. Read carefully the source and catch the main idea. If there are unfamiliar terms, use a thesaurus and clear things out. Then, put away that piece and start writing in your own words without peeping into it.
  • 7. If your paper is longer or shorter, there is no need to worry: it’s absolutely OK to change words for plagiarism without keeping the same length as the original source. Just present the general idea, everything else doesn’t matter so much.
  • 8. Did you know that copying more than TWO words in a row is considered to be plagiarism? Quite a small number, isn’t it? If you do that, use quotation marks. Only in this case, you won’t be accused of plagiarizing.
  • 9. Actively use a plagiarism word changer or thesaurus if you can’t come up with words to express some idea. However, be careful with it: using too fancy words isn’t a good way to make your point. How your paper will look like?
  • 10. There is a rule of thumb which is called K.I.S.S. – keep it short and simple. Make your paper easy to understand. Fancy vocabulary won’t impress your teacher.
  • 11. For paraphrasing plagiarism you need to change structure of paragraphs: you need to restructure them in a completely new way and still save the main author’s idea.
  • 12. Change words plagiarism and work with the word order. Change it but make sure your brand new sentence doesn’t have grammar mistakes as changing the word order often needs adding new words or changing the form of existing ones.
  • 13. Try plagiarism rewriter and change from active voice to passive, and vice versa. Some experts advise writing preferably in the active voice. However, if your piece is grammatically correct and sounds just fine, why not to vary your piece with passive voice?
  • 14. Use citations: not only will it keep you safe from plagiarism, but also let your readers follow the way you’ve conducted your research.
  • 15. Style: your paraphrase plagiarism shouldn’t look like the original source. Write in your very own style and tone as the rest of your paper.
  • 16. You shouldn’t include all details from the initial source. Define the most important ones and paraphrase just them. Overloading your paper with plenty of information isn’t right.
  • 17. When you’re in doubt and not sure your paraphrase is authentic enough, give a credit. Put a quote in your paper or mention the original author inside your paraphrase.
