26. What is plagiarism MEDICAL LIBRARY
CAMBRIDGE UNIVERSITY LIBRARY
“Plagiarism is defined as submitting as one’s own work,
irrespective of intent to deceive, that which derives in
part of in its entirety from the work of others without due
acknowledgement. It is both poor scholarship and a
breach of academic integrity.”
(Cambridge University, 2011)

(and it can come back to bite you)
It is a serious offence & it’s better to be safe than sorry
