Communication Science: Pliagiarism

Welcome to Communication Science guide

Pliagiarism

Plagiarism is the representation of another author's language, thoughts, ideas, or expressions as one's own original work.
Plagiarism is considered academic dishonesty and a breach of journalistic ethics. It is subject to sanctions such as penalties, suspension, expulsion from school or work, substantial fines and even incarceration. Recently, cases of "extreme plagiarism" have been identified in academia.
