Type of Plagiarism Definition Severity
You commit verbatim plagiarism when you directly copy text from a
source and paste it into your own document without attribution.
If the structure and the majority of the words are the same as in the
original, then it is verbatim plagiarism.
If you want to use an author’s exact words, you need to quote the original
source in as in-text citation.

Plagiarism)
Mosaic plagiarism is also known as patchwork plagiarism or incremental
plagiarism.
It means copying some texts from different sources and putting it together
to create a new text.
This includes slightly rephrasing passages while keeping many of the
same words and structure as the original.
Plagiarism checkers like Turnitin can still easily detect it.
