Plagiarism is the unauthorized use of someone else's work. Words, ideas, charts and pictures are all considered the creator's intellectual property and may not be legally reproduced or reused by another person unless that person acknowledges the creator by citing the source of the material.

Using a similar sentence structure to the original source, rearranging the words in the original sentence or replacing some of the words with synonyms still constitutes plagiarism.
