plagiarism
Copying without credit
Plagiarism is copying someone else’s work without attribution, with the intention of making it appear that you are the author.
Plagiarism usually refers to writing but may also encompass research or ideas.
While the availability of text on the Internet makes it easier to detect plagiarism, since it is so easy to copy from the Internet, plagiarism is also more common.
