Thinking Activity : Plagiarism and Consequences

-

 Hello Readers,

         

                         I am Aditi Vala, student of Department of English,MKBU.This blog is a part of my classroom thinking activity.This activity given by Vaidehi Mam.In this blog I am going to describe one topic: Plagiarism and Consequences.

                       

                     First of all we can see,

What is Plagiarism?

Many people think of plagiarism as copying another's work or borrowing someone else's original ideas. But terms like "copying" and "borrowing" can disguise the seriousness of the offense.Plagiarism is the representation of another author's language, thoughts, ideas, or expressions as one's own original work. In educational contexts, there are differing definitions of plagiarism depending on the institution. Plagiarism is considered a violation of academic integrity and a breach of journalistic ethics.

According to the Merriam-Webster online 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

In other words, plagiarism is an act of fraud. It involves both stealing someone else's work and lying about it afterward.

Definition of Plagiarism:

transitive verb. : to steal and pass off (the ideas or words of another) as one's own : use (another's production) without crediting the source. intransitive verb. : to commit literary theft : present as new and original an idea or product derived from an existing source.

Plagiarism refers to intellectual theft i.e. using someone else’s thoughts in your work without referencing them. It’s taking the credit for someone else’s work, which goes against the rules of academia. Quoting is not banned, quite the opposite in fact. However, the author must be named.

Plagiarism can take on a number of different forms. It does not just consist of copying but can also be an uncredited translation or the use of someone else’s ideas without referencing the author.

Plagiarism can definitely be uncovered. There is special software for this. If plagiarism is detected, there are serious consequences such receiving a failing grade for your work, being kicked out of your program, or being denied your academic title. Aside from plagiarism, copyright infringement and fraud are punishable criminal offences.

 Four types of plagiarism:
  • Direct Plagiarism
  • Mosaic Plagiarism
  • Self-Plagiarism
  • Accidental Plagiarism

How do you plagiarize?

Some examples of plagiarism include:
  1. Copying and pasting a Wikipedia article into the body of an assignment.
  2. Quoting a source without including a citation.
  3. Not paraphrasing a source properly, such as maintaining wording too close to the original.
  4. Forgetting to cite the source of an idea.
