This document defines plagiarism and discusses its various forms. Plagiarism involves using another's work or ideas without giving proper attribution. It has been defined by dictionaries and has its origins in a complaint by the Roman poet Martial about others passing off his work as their own. There are several categories and forms of plagiarism discussed, including paraphrasing without citation, mosaic plagiarism, direct copying, incorrect citation, and submitting others' work as one's own. International cases of plagiarism in writing are also presented. The Philippines has an Intellectual Property Code to address plagiarism and copyright issues.

17. "Strong for a Moment Like This: The Daily Devotions of
Hillary Rodham Clinton," is based on emails that the Rev.
Bill Shillady, a United Methodist minister, wrote to Clinton
from April 2015 through December of last year. Shillady
described his emails as a way to minister to a candidate in
perpetual motion.
But it does not credit one source from which an especially
emotional devotion borrowed heavily: a blog post by the
Rev. Matthew Deuel, a pastor at Mission Point Community
Church in Warsaw, Indiana.
