Writing for Academic Purposes Maam Piodena

Summarizing
Plagiarism ranges from simply quoting statements without recognizing the true author to
copying a significant portion of someone else's work and claiming it as their own.

Paraphrasing
Plagiarism is quoting a portion of the whole text to his/her work without giving credit to the
original author. The work is then submitted in a class, as part of a degree requirement, or part of
a published text (Standler, 2012).

Direct Quotation
In his article “Plagiarism in colleges in USA: Legal aspects of plagiarism, academic policy,”
Standler (2012) stated that

Plagiarism “in minor cases can be the quotation of a sentence or two, without quotation
marks and a citation to the author. In most serious cases, a significant fraction of the
entire work was written by someone else but the plagiarist removed the author(s),
name(s), and substituted his/her name, perhaps did some reformatting of the text, then
submitted the work for credit to class (e.g., term paper or essay), as part of the
requirements of a degree (e.g., thesis or dissertation), or as part of a published article or
book.”
