Plagiarism is the use, whether by paraphrase or direct quotation, of another’s published or unpublished work without full and clear acknowledgment. Direct quotes with a clear acknowledgment are usually appropriate if not overused but copying another’s work word for word outside of a direct quotation, even with acknowledgment, is likely to be considered plagiarism. Plagiarism is often unintentional. SNHU’s Academic Integrity Policy This link opens in a new window provides more information on SNHU’s definition of plagiarism.
Plagiarism checkers are software that can be used to cross-check text for duplicated content (this may include quoted material, paraphrased material, similarities in wording, etc.). These tools help to ensure that writing is original and correctly cited.
We do not recommend any of the free plagiarism detectors that you find with a Google search. The quality is unreliable and some of them are phishing sites.
