Plagiarism

Screening for Plagiarism

Plagiarism – promulgation (publication), fully or partially, of another's work under the name of a person who is not the author of this work

Self-plagiarism – re-publishing of large text parts from own scientific papers by the author without stating the fact of their prior or simultaneous publication

Textual plagiarism – full or partial copying of text fragments (modified or not) in the articles, theses, reports, books, manuscripts, theses, and so on.

The following actions clearly characterize the process of plagiarism:

  1. turning in someone else’s work as your own; 
  2. copying another person’s words or ideas without reference to its work; 
  3. intentional omission of the quote from the reference list; providing incorrect source data (such as "broken" links); 
  4. changing words order, while preserving the overall structure of a sentence;
  5. copying large parts of text or ideas that make up the majority of new articles.
