Verbatim plagiarism involves copying the exact or almost exact words from another text without quotation marks or a citation. Making slight alterations or deletions is not sufficient to correctly paraphrase another text and is still verbatim plagiarism.
When using another author’s words, always include quotation marks around the quoted material as well as an in-text citation.
