To quote is to reproduce or mention the ideas and/or words of another author. In order to prepare an academic work, different information resources are often consulted (books, journal articles, databases, etc.).

If you reproduce fragments or ideas that appear in the sources of information consulted, you must quote their authors, stating that they are not your own or original.

Bibliographic quotations are presented in the form of a number, asterisk or note in brackets within the text.

Plagiarism is understood as:

• Submitting someone else's work as one's own, supplanting the original author.
• Including sentences, paragraphs or ideas from other authors without citing their source or authorship.
• Not using inverted commas in a literal quotation.
• Giving incorrect information about the true source of a quotation.
• Abusive paraphrasing, even if the source is mentioned.
• Self-plagiarism: presenting work already used as new. 

Nowadays, thanks to the facilities offered by the Internet and digital technologies, the most common type of plagiarism is that which consists of 'copying and pasting' other people's content found on the Internet without much consideration for the rights that this may violate.

Plagiarism is fraud, since it involves taking advantage of the efforts of others. It is also illegal because it is against intellectual property law and against the rules of the Spanish Penal Code.

Making use of other people's work within the law avoids plagiarism; for example, using small fragments of other people's work for research purposes is permitted by law. However, even if it is not plagiarism, such uses must be made in an ethical manner, which means that the authorship and source of the work used must be quoted.

• Published material consisting of hundreds of millions of books, reference works, scientific articles, etc.
• Student material It may happen that a student plagiarizes material from another student or that they work together with small variations to present to the teacher.

IMPORTANT:

1. Anti-plagiarism systems help detect plagiarism but are not a substitute for the examiner's work.
2. Teachers will analyze the report provided by Urkund.
3. Teachers make the decision to qualify a job as plagiarism or not.

Example:
A job uploaded to the platform and that the Urkund report provides 100% coincidence does not imply that there has been plagiarism. It may be that the same work has been previously uploaded by the same or another teacher to the platform.
Urkund has a system to exclude duplicates and perform a more accurate analysis.
