Correct Answer - Option 4 : Drawing content from another work and adapting it with due acknowledgement.
Plagiarism
-
Plagiarism or appropriating someone else's ideas, materials, products as one's own, plagiarism can be Intra-carpal (one copying from another in the same submission), extra-carpal (copying from an external source like a book, journal, internet), or auto-plagiarism (citing one’s own work without reference/ acknowledgement).
- Plagiarism refers to the act of copying an idea or presenting thereof and presenting it as one’s own. In simple terms, plagiarism is stealing.
- Incorrect citation or no citation at all is one way of plagiarizing.
- Quoting a large amount of content of somebody’s work and presenting it without either the knowledge of the actual author or not referencing it to their credit, is plagiarism, which may consist of following points:
- Make use of the work of another and misrepresent it as your own.
- Drawing content from the work of another without acknowledging the source.
- Paraphrasing too closely to the original text.
Further, let us understand the types of Plagiarism:
Types of Plagiarism:
Intentional or Unintentional
Intentional plagiarism occurs when the author deliberately, intentionally or knowingly copies entire text, paragraph or data and presents as its own.
- Unintentional occurs when the author either is not aware of such research, is unaware of the ethics in writing or does not know how to cite and thus presents similar articles.
- Wrongly quoting an author, wrong citation or no citation at all, are all forms of unintended plagiarism that may occur to carelessness and negligence of the researcher.
Mosaic/Patch writing
- This happens when a new author uses the previous article text by replacing, reordering or rephrasing the words or sentences to give it a new look without acknowledging the original author.
Self-Plagiarism
- When a researcher publishes his own previously published material, is called self-plagiarism.
- This happens when the author has added research on a previously published article, book, contributed chapter, journal, and presents it as a new without acknowledging the first article or taking permission from the previous publisher.
- Submission of the same article to multiple journals to increase the chances of publication or making multiple articles from a single article is another form of plagiarism.
So, using someone else’s research without the acknowledgement is called Plagiarism, that’s why drawing content from another work and adapting it with due acknowledgement is not a plagiarism.
