Plagiarism:

‘If you copy from one person’s finding, its plagiarism; but if you copy from many, it is research’.

Intellectual theft is a serious crime and although many do not take it seriously, the consequences of such an action could be grave. But, for example, your teacher requires you to write an essay on global warming, should you go on an expedition to find about it from the scratch?

The answer is no, you don’t, but you do need to keep in mind a few basic rules while using someone else’s research, which are as follows:

• Always cite sources
• Inform your teacher about the researched material
  
  

Now, many people assume that if you copy and paste any one’s work from first letter to the last, you have plagiarized but a paragraph here and there isn’t really an offense: it’s not true. Following are considered as plagiarism as well:

• Turning in someone else’s work as yours
• Not giving due credit to the source of information
• Giving wrong or misleading information about the source
• Copying sentence construction and changing words-and not citing the source

Therefore, the next time you turn in a thoroughly researched essay, make sure you don’t miss out on credits or give false sources.
