Citing Images

Plagiarism is the act of using someone else's work, ideas, or intellectual property (such as text, images, ideas or other creative expressions) without proper attribution or permission and presenting it as one's own. This can include copying and pasting from a source, paraphrasing without proper citation, submitting someone else's work as your own, or not giving credit to the original author or creator.

Plagiarism is considered a serious ethical violation in academic and professional settings. It undermines the principles of honesty, integrity, and intellectual property rights.

To avoid plagiarism, it's important to always give proper credit to the original sources by citing them appropriately. This applies to both written and non-written works, such as images, videos, and other creative content.
