Plagiarism
Definition of Plagiarism- It is using another
person's ideas or words without giving them credit. This could be done
unintentionally with forgetting to site a few quotes to deliberately
using someone else's paper. Other people's ideas are used in our papers
after researching, discussions and lectures on these ideas. These ideas
must be correctly and completely cited in our papers.
