What is Plagiarism?
Seton Hall University defines plagiarism as the following:
"A student commits plagiarism when her or his assignment uses the words and/or ideas of another person without attributing those words and/or ideas using the required forms of documentation.
- For direct quotation, this means that the quoted words lack quotation marks, a signal phrase, and citation.
- For summary and paraphrase, this means that there is neither a signal phrase nor a parenthetical citation.
Please note that plagiarism, like documentation error, occurs regardless of intent. It requires certain actions (or the absence of certain actions) but not motive."
