Word for word plagiarism
occurs when a text or parts of it are copied verbatim from an original work
without acknowledging the author. The lack of quotation marks at the beginning
and end of a short passage, or indention for a longer one is considered plagiarism.
The use of a citation, a footnote, or an endnote only indicates that the information
has a source, but lacks to acknowledge that the original words from the author
are being used. Either quotation marks or block indention
must be used when the original work is copied word for word.
The following
examples will provide students' versions of original materials and an analysis
of those versions in terms of plagiarism.

plays a mammoth role in workforce development, but many environments are
inhospitable to learning, and business goals may fail to serve the
learner. The competitive global economy has caused employers to take a
greater interest in human resource development because it is through
people, not technology, that competitive edge is gained. |
Business plays a mammoth role in
workforce development, but many environments are inhospitable to learning,
and business goals may fail to serve the learner (Bierema,

Analysis:
- Note
that the author is cited -Bierema 2000- in the student's
version (APA style). However, the paragraph should be in quotation
marks as the author's words are used verbatim.
- Including a
reference (APA style) has no use if the author has not been cited in the
text.
