Detailed explanation-1: -If you keep any of the same vocabulary without direct quotations, you are plagiarizing. It is not considered plagiarism to keep the same sentence structure, but replace important vocabulary with synonyms.
Detailed explanation-2: -Expressing an idea in your own words, and giving credit. Using a direct quote, and giving credit. Stating a fact, and giving credit. Paraphrasing or summarizing, and giving credit.
Detailed explanation-3: -You can also plagiarize when rewriting something in your own words. So if you take a sentence from a source and change a few words or completely rewrite it in your own words and do not include a citation for that source, you have plagiarized even if it is not a word for word reproduction of the original.
Detailed explanation-4: -Copying and Pasting Plagiarism Anytime you copy and paste verbatim from a source and do not give the source credit it is plagiarism. If you do copy and paste a passage word for word, you must put the information in quotations (i.e. “ “) marks and give credit to the author. This is called a direct quote.
