What is originality? Undetected plagiarism.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
Originality is undetected plagiarism.
Originality usually amounts only to plagiarizing something unfamiliar.
Originality is the art of concealing your source.
Originality is nothing but judicious imitation. The most original writers borrowed one from another.
Originality is the one thing which unoriginal minds cannot feel the use of.
Self-plagiarism is style.
Originality is a thing we constantly clamour for, and constantly quarrel with.
If you steal from one author it's plagiarism; if you steal from many it's research.
The only real mystery in the stories of political plagiarism is its durability in an age of Turnitin and other scanning software that can protect an author from his own mistakes, intentional or otherwise.
Originality is not seen in single words or even in sentences. Originality is the sum total of a man's thinking or his writing.
