Paraphlagiarism refers to the practice of rephrasing or paraphrasing someone else's work without proper attribution, making it appear as though the ideas or content are original. It differs from traditional plagiarism in that the text is altered rather than copied verbatim, but it still constitutes a form of academic dishonesty. This can occur in various contexts, including academic writing, journalism, and creative works, and it undermines the integrity of the original source. Proper citation and acknowledgment are essential to avoid paraphlagiarism.
