What is the proper definition and objective measures of plagiarism. If I work on a disease and start my manuscript by defining the disease, it becomes really difficult to frame a definition when I find hundreds of papers have already written many definitions. I cant differ from them and yet cant copy the sentence. It becomes tricky.
Any comments out there?
Choose the one definition that you agree most with, put it in quotes, and cite where you got it from.
It is as simple as that.
Otherwise, combine all the definitions you found to make your own definition without quotation marks.
Again, state where you got them from.

Stealing others efforts and thoughts. But, in the case you explained I totally agree with Ian, this what you need to do. Wish you all the best
In general,
Plagiarism is an immoral act by which a person's scientific production is stolen and claimed to be of my own production. The type of Plagiarism varies by field (bioscience, engineering sciences, humanities)
i think if we want to anti Plagiarism we should be :-
- Any verbatim text taken from another source must be enclosed in quotation marks and be accompanied by a citation to indicate its origin
- When in doubt as to whether a concept or fact is common knowledge, provide a citation
- Authors who submit a manuscript for publication containing previously disseminated data, reviews, conclusions, etc., must clearly indicate to the editors and readers the nature of the previous dissemination.
- When we summarize others’ work, we use our own words to condense and convey others’ contributions in a shorter version of the original
- In the domain of conferences and similar audio-visual presentations of their work, authors should practice the same principles of transparency with their audiences
I dont think the concept is that simple. It has a lot more than simple sweeping definitions.
- When we summarize others’ work, we use our own words to condense and convey others’ contributions in a shorter version of the original, but we still need to cite the source to avoid plagiarism. This is because we are copying the idea.
