Plagiarism is regarded as the act of "taking credit for or benefitting from somebody else’s ideas, words, concepts, formulations, etc. without giving due credit by means of referencing or quoting, and presenting work for personal benefit which does not contain individual authorship (Brown University Writing Centre 2015).
