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.
