Plagiarism means to steal and pass off the work of another as one's own.
It usually results from bad paraphrasing that merely substitutes a few word changes for those of the original author and forgetting to use quotation marks and a reference citation are technically considered plagiarism, even if you somehow hypnotize yourself into thinking that those were your own words to express your own ideas. The only safe way to paraphrase is to read the original over several times and write your own conception of what you've read without looking at the original. Wilson, H . Research in Nursing .
