plagiarism

The practice of taking someone else's work or ideas and passing them off as one's own.

This is much easier to do thanks to Copy and Paste from the web.

Self-plagiarism can also occur if a student (or academic writer) passes something off as their first attempt at an assignment/ first time published, that they have used for an assignment or had published before.
