According to the Spanish dictionary, plagiarism is the act of substantially copying another person's work, presenting it as one's own. Presenting another person's work as one's own includes copying or reproducing it without acknowledging the source.

Plagiarism involves the use of phrases or sentences copied directly from a text or paraphrasing the words of a closely related text, as well as figures, photographs, images or diagrams from any source, without citing the author. Also the use of statistics or facts collected from another person or source, without citing it.
