If I forget to cite (credit) something – is that plagiarism?

The most common issue related to “non-citation” is plagiarism. Plagiarism is considered to be:

  • deliberately copying someone else’s text and ideas and presenting them as your own,
  • unintentionally failing to cite one of the sources used,
  • incorrect or inaccurate citation of the sources utilised.

Plagiarism Check at the University
