Plagiarism is the use of someone else s words or ideas without proper credit.
This is a quotation from the book cited in the footnote below. Had I written this sentence without quote marks and a citation, I would be guilty of plagiarism. It is my experience that many cases of plagiarism are accidental, but ignorance of the rules is no excuse. Such copying, which is just as serious as deliberate plagiarism, results when a student reads a source, then immediately writes part of his or her paper. This is not the way to write a paper.
