Plagiarism

Paper Summary:

This paper explains that the most popular task associated with plagiarism is using another person's words or ideas without giving credit, with the intent of deceiving the audience into thinking that the work is one's own. The author points out that many universities trying to combat Internet plagiarism and cheating services are turning to websites ,such as plagiarism.org and turnitin.com, to compare student papers with information and commercial papers available via the Web. The paper stresses that the first step towards the elimination of this problem is a zero-tolerance policy against plagiarism in all its forms.

From the Paper:

"Many students inadvertently commit plagiarism simply through carelessness. They do not use proper citation for their research and do not attribute their sources properly. For example, a student who uses Harold Bloom's analysis of a Shakespearean play may fail to use in-text citation to identify which paraphrased ideas come from Bloom. Because of this, it may be confusing for the reader to identify which points are made by Bloom, and which ones are being made by the student."
