Professor Dr. Susan Al-Hasnawi said that plagiarism or plagiarism is when a person presents the work, product, or ideas of another person as their own, with or without their consent, by incorporating them into their work without fully acknowledging their owner and source. This definition includes all published and unpublished materials, whether in the form of a manuscript, printed, electronic, or published research.
