Possible plagiarism scenarios

Potentially complicating the task of identifying plagiarism is the fact that each of the factors listed above can be combined with others, creating a variety of possible plagiarism scenarios. Below is a comprehensive list of these scenarios, starting with the most severe:

• Uncredited verbatim copying of an entire paper or a major portion (more than 50%) within a single paper — This includes instances where a large section of the original paper is copied without quotation marks, proper citation, references, or a bibliography. It also includes cases where various segments from different papers by other authors are copied without attribution, and the total amount of copied material exceeds 50%.
  
  

• Uncredited verbatim copying within multiple papers by the same author(s) — This scenario involves cases where more than one paper by the same author(s) contains plagiarized content, and the combined amount of copied material across these papers exceeds 50%.
  
  

• Uncredited verbatim copying of a large portion (greater than 20% but up to 50%) within a single paper — Here, a significant section of the original paper is copied from another source without proper acknowledgment, quotation marks, references, or a bibliography. This also includes cases where different parts of a paper are copied from multiple sources without attribution, and together they make up a substantial portion (up to 50%) of the paper.
  
  

• Uncredited verbatim copying within multiple papers by the same author(s) — In this case, the sum of plagiarized content from the various papers is equivalent to a large portion (greater than 20% but up to 50%) of the shortest paper found.
  
  

• Uncredited verbatim copying of individual elements (paragraphs, sentences, illustrations, etc.) that result in a significant portion (up to 20%) within a paper — For example, when sections of an original paper are included in another paper without quotation marks, proper citation, references, or a bibliography.
  
  

• Uncredited improper paraphrasing of pages or paragraphs — This occurs when only a few words or phrases have been changed or when the sentence order has been altered, but no proper citation or reference is provided.
  
  

• Credited verbatim copying of a major portion of a paper without clear delineation — This refers to cases where a section of an original paper is copied from another source and a credit notice is included, but the absence of quotation marks or proper formatting fails to clearly identify the copied material.

Plagiarism in short

• While the more extreme and obvious cases are easier to recognize, the scenarios outlined above give us some fundamental factors to consider when evaluating allegations of plagiarism between authors.

• The amount or quantity of plagiarized material does not itself define plagiarism. However, the extent of the copied material is crucial in determining the appropriate corrective action.

• Simply including credit notices or references is not enough to avoid a charge of plagiarism if the copied text is not clearly identified with quotation marks or offset formatting.

• Paraphrasing can still lead to a plagiarism charge if only minor changes, such as replacing a few words or rearranging sentences, are made. Even a properly paraphrased section may constitute plagiarism if the original source is not correctly cited.
