Wait. What?
I was working on my master’s in 1980. My University was strict about plagiarism. They expected student TO NOT DO IT.
Apparently in 2009 Neri didn’t understand what plagiarism meant and needed specific examples. DO NOT STEAL OTHER’S WORK was apparently too vague. 🙄
In my college days, we also had strict rules against plagiarism. You were encouraged to put in your own words what you read of others. Dictionary definitions were allowed as long as you footnoted and cited where they came from. Any quote from any reference work, had to be quote marked and footnoted with a complete bibliography. In science papers the notes were always much longer than the actual paper.
