Plagiarism in Scientific Articles. A Brief Review

Journal Title: Journal of Intercultural Management and Ethics - Year 2019, Vol 2, Issue 2

Abstract

Plagiarism may take many forms, and its identification may cause both legal and moral consequences. Acknowledging other people’s work is a key element of a constructive environment in an academic setting, especially nowadays, when access to information is easy, time is limited, and academics are under pressure to publish or perish. The main aim of this article is to synthesize this concept based on recent guidelines and to detail its most common types. We will discuss: plagiarism with/without intent, the plagiarism of ideas (content plagiarism), of text (form plagiarism), image/ table/ graphic plagiarism, plagiarizing others and self-plagiarism, plagiarism with/without quoting the source material or inadequate quoting of the source material.
