If we copy a paper or take a paragraph and change only the word form , it is plagiariam. Indeed, it is plagiariam to explain others paper or use others' argument. However, we could quote and interpret these contents. That is allowed.
I think I can use the Internet and what you have learned to check whether your work meets the writing standards.
To avoid plagiarism, when we quote someone else's work, we should make a list of references.In addition, we need to follow the rules of writing and respect the work of others.
I think I can refer from paper websites and search some paper to know whether I have plagiarized or nor. Avoiding plagiarism has many ways. Firstly, when I write my paper, writing my own ways of thinking about how I do and some personal thoughts to avoid plagiarism. If have not to plagiarize, I can write the resourses of what I plagiarize.
In China's judicial practice, plagiarism and plagiarism generally follow three standards:
1. Whether the plagiarized works are protected by the copyright law;
2. Whether the plagiarist USES the work of others beyond the scope of proper citation;
3. Whether the quotation is from the source or not.
In my opinion, plagiarism should be avoided in this way: first, when using other people's ideas and results, it is necessary to indicate the source in the body of the paper; Second, the application is limited to introducing or commenting on a work or issue; Third, the use of other people's works cannot constitute the main part of the citation work, the use of other people's works should not be too much content.
When I use other people's words or ideas in my writing and they are not marked, I have plagiarized. In order to avoid plagiarism, we can paraphrase other people's works. There are six useful ways we can refer to when paraphrasing:
1.Use a synonym of a word or phraase.
2.Change the order of information.
3.Change from the active to the passive or vice versa.
4.Change the positive into the negative and vice versa.
5.Change personal nouns into impersonal nouns and vice versa.
6.Change complex sentences into simple sentences and vice versa.
Copy the source sentence directly; copy a paragraph; take the sentence from different sources and put it with your own content; delete and paste a paragraph and rearrange the sentence; retell and rewrite the sentence; plagiarize from the text; use other people's way of debate; copy articles from journals, websites, and books. All of the above belong to plagiarism.
Avoid quoting more than 40 words when quoting, and pay attention to the source when quoting, so as to avoid plagiarism.
In many cases, a copycat mainly uploads plagiarized articles to his own website. If his website is included, we can check it through the search engine. I think you have to be flexible. While drawing on others' opinions, we should express our approval to the original author and express others' opinions in our own words, because the words are our own and the opinions are others'.
From the course we can konw,plagiarism is when a person USES another person's words or ideas as their own without proper validation in writing. Such as Copy a sentence or paragraph directly from the original without any changes,Copy a paragraph, but replace some words with words that have similar meanings, Find fixed phrases from different sources and put them with some of your own words and so on.
As far as I'm concerned,Plagiarism can be avoided by using the checking function of some software on the Internet
I think a small range of reference is possible, but a large range is plagiarism,if the similarity rate exceeds a certain range, plagiarism. When reading other people's literature, learn to take notes and indicate the author and the year of publication, so that you can quickly find the paper when you write it, and don't forget to quote it, and learn to use your own words when you quote it.
Nowadays, high technology can help us solve this problem. Many professional paper webside have already applied the program to identify the similar paragraph when you upload your paper, so you will be remained when your work is unqualified. Usually, we need not to be concerned about this problem if the paper is turly write by yourself, but we should pay attention when we quote articles this may cause plagiarism if we do not follow the rules.
