What is Plagarism?

To plagiarize is to borrow someone else’s words or ideas without mentioning
his/her name and/or without using quotation marks (“...”).

PLAGIARISM is taking another person’s words, ideas or statistics and passing them off as your own. The complete or partial translation of a text written by someone else also constitutes plagiarism if you do not acknowledge your source.

Since we cannot always be original it is entirely acceptable to present another person’s ideas in your work. However, it must be done properly to avoid plagiarism.

The University of Ottawa has an excellent handout on plagiarism, and how to avoid it.
