Plagiarism is the presentation of someone else's thoughts or words as if they are your own, without permission, attribution, or acknowledgment, or due to improper citation of the source. Plagiarism can occur in various forms, ranging from literal copying to paraphrasing someone else's work. To accurately assess whether a writer has committed plagiarism, we emphasize several situations that may occur:

• An Author may literally copy another Author's work by copying word for word; in whole or in part, without permission, acknowledgment, or citation of the original source. This practice can be identified by comparing the original source and the manuscript/work suspected of being plagiarized.
• Substantial copying implies that an Author reproduces substantial portions of another Author's work, without permission, acknowledgment, or citation. The term substantial can be understood in terms of both quality and quantity, often used in the context of Intellectual Property. Quality refers to the relative value of the text copied in proportion to the work as a whole.
• Paraphrasing involves taking ideas, words, or phrases from a source and rephrasing them into new sentences in writing. This practice becomes unethical when the Author does not properly cite or acknowledge the original work/Author. This form of plagiarism is more difficult to identify.
