Definition: What is Plagiarism?  The Oxford dictionary definition is:

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

Plagiarism is taken very seriously in the research publication process especially if funding for the research comes from public funds (taxpayer money). Please read the following link from The Office of  Research Integrity of the U.S Health and Human Services.

The law is 42 C.F.R. Part 93 in research supported by U.S. Public Health Service (PHS) funds,

Hence my task today is to ensure that you understand the gravity of plagiarism in your academic life now and working life once you graduate.
