“Plagiarism is the technical term for stealing someone else’s intellectual property in the form of words or thoughts.  It can take many forms but all involve using someone else’s ideas or words as one’s own without crediting the source”   (A-State Library, 2017,  “What is Plagiarism,” para. 1).   There are six types of plagiarism listed below:            Type 1:  Copy and Paste Plagiarism or Direct Plagiarism When you copy a sentence, phrase, or paragraph word for word, but do not quote your source. Type 2:   Word Switch Plagiarism When you rephrase a person’s work and insert it into your own work without acknowledging its original source.  If you take a sentence from a source and change a few words without acknowledging your source, it is still plagiarism. This is not paraphrasing. Type 3:   Mosaic or Blending Plagiarism When you: mix words or ideas from an unacknowledged source in with your own words or ideas; mix together uncited words and ideas from several sources into a single work, or mix together properly cited uses of a source with uncited uses. Type 4:   Insufficient Acknowledgment When you correctly cite your source once but continue to use the author’s work without giving an additional proper citation. Type 5: Self-Plagiarism When you use a paper or assignment completed for one class to satisfy the assignment for a different class.  Even if you modify a previous paper or assignment, you must get permission from your professor/ instructor and correctly cite your previous paper. Type 6:  The Ghost Writer When you turn in someone else’s work word-for-word as your own.  For example, if you pay/get someone to write your paper for you.  You must still give this person credit, but then you wouldn’t want to do this in the first place as it would likely result in a failing grade.   Type 7: The AI Ghost Writer Just like you can’t hire someone to write your papers, you can’t submit papers that were created using AI programs. Your work needs to be your work. And yes, you can be failed for submitted AI created papers. See the tab on AI for a more in-depth look.
