When do you think paraphrasing and summarizing breech the grounds of plagiarism?

Solution

Plagiarism is the act of submitting others work or ideas as own work and it should be strictly avoided. Summarizing and paraphrasing is not considered as plagiarism when the source is cited. Summarizing is writing the summary of the main ideas that are presented in the source in own words. Keeping the same words in the source would be considered as plagiarism while summarizing and hence the summary should be written in own words. Paraphrasing involves taking the idea from a source and putting in own word without reducing the content. Paraphrasing should not distort the sequence of the ideas and the original content should not be changed. In both summarizing and paraphrasing it is very important to credit the source and else it will be considered as plagiarism. The source should be cited for any ideas that have come from other sources.
