with or without their consent, by incorporating it into
your work without full acknowledgement. All published
and unpublished material, whether in manuscript, printed
or
electronic form, is covered under this definition”
 According to Bela Gipp (2014), academic

“The use of ideas, concepts, words, or structures without
appropriately acknowledging the source
to benefit in a setting where originality is expected”

Common Forms of
Plagiarism
University of Illinois at Chicago identified 10 main forms of Plagiarism that
students commit:
1. Submitting someone's work as their own.
2. Taking passages from their own previous work without adding
citations.
3. Re-writing someone's work without properly citing sources.
4. Using quotations, but not citing the source.
5. Interweaving various sources together in the work without citing.
6. Citing some, but not all passages that should be cited.
7. Melding together cited and uncited sections of the piece.
8. Providing proper citations, but fails to change the structure and
wording of the borrowed ideas enough.
9. Inaccurately citing the source.
10. Relying too heavily on other people's work. Fails to bring

How to Avoid
Plagiarism?
Pamela Samuelson, in 1994, identified several factors she says
excuse reuse of one's previously published work:
1. The previous work must be restated to lay the groundwork for a
new contribution in the second work.
2. Portions of the previous work must be repeated to deal with new
evidence or arguments.
3. The audience for each work is so different that publishing the same
work in different places is necessary to get the message out.
4. The author thinks they said it so well the first time that it makes no
sense to say it differently a second time.
