■ Miss Watson, the Teacher Librarian at the world renowned high school in Urbandale, Iowa said in 2017, that “plagiarism happens all the time” (Watson).

The Labor of Laziness
The writer takes the time to paraphrase most of the paper from other sources and make it all fit together, instead of spending the same effort on original work.
Example:
Original: Marie Curie, née Maria Sklodowska, was born in Warsaw on November 7, 1867, the daughter of a secondary-school teacher. She received a general education in local schools and some scientific training from her father.
Rewrite:Born in Warsaw on November 7, 1867, Marie Curie was a member of a humble family who helped her to develop her basic education, including scientific training. She is the only person who has ever won Nobel Prizes in both physics and chemistry.
The Forgotten Footnote
The writer mentions an author’s name for a source, but neglects to include specific information on the location of the material referenced. This often masks
other forms of plagiarism by obscuring source locations.
Example:
Original: Marie Curie, née Maria Sklodowska, was born in Warsaw on November 7, 1867, the daughter of a secondary-school teacher. She received a general education in local schools and some scientific training from her father.
Rewrite: According to the Nobel Prize Foundation, Marie Curie, was born in Warsaw on November 7, 1867.
The Misinformer
The writer provides inaccurate information regarding the sources, making it impossible to find them.
Example:
Original: Marie Curie, née Maria Sklodowska, was born in Warsaw on November 7, 1867, the daughter of a secondary-school teacher. She received a general education in local schools and some scientific training from her father.
Rewrite: Smith says, Marie Curie, was born in Warsaw on November 7, 1867, the daughter of a secondary-school teacher. She received a general education in local schools (Smith).
The Too-Perfect Paraphrase
The writer properly cites a source, but neglects to put in quotation marks text that has been copied word-for-word, or close to it. Although attributing the basic ideas to the source, the writer is falsely claiming original presentation and interpretation of the information.
Example:Original: Marie Curie, née Maria Sklodowska, was born in Warsaw on November 7, 1867, the daughter of a secondary-school teacher. She received a general education in local schools and some scientific training from her father.
Rewrite: Marie Curie, was born in Warsaw on November 7, 1867, the daughter of a secondary-school teacher. She received a general education in local schools and some scientific training from her father (Marie Curie - Biographical).
