I apologize if it seems as though I'm picking on Kirsten, but her
survey lets me illustrate a point I made in my previous post on
plagiarism. The point is that plagiarism by omitting the source and
plagiarism by improper paraphrasing are different kinds of plagiarism,
but this is rarely noted in discussions of the issue.
The two items closest on Kirsten's survey are the following:
>
> 18. Paraphrasing without reference
> [ ] is cheating
> [ ] is not cheating
>
> 19. Copying without reference
> [ ] is cheating
> [ ] is not cheating
but neither addresses this issue:
xx. Paraphrasing in which substantial use is made of the exact
words of the author, even if the reference is provided:
[ ] is cheating
[ ] is not cheating
