    Student Version

    Rogers places great importance on the sharing of information about an innovation. He defines a communication channel as "the means by which messages get from one individual to another" (p. 18).

    Which of the following is true for the Student Version above?

    Word-for-Word plagiarism

    Paraphrasing plagiarism

    This is not plagiarism

    Answer: Word-for-Word plagiarism

    Explanation:

    The student version is Word-for-word plagiarism because it uses ideas from the source material, and takes over seven words in sequence from it, but it is missing the corresponding date

    The quotation marks surrounding the selected words were correct, but to have a full in-text citation, the publication date is required, in addition to the author's name (s), and the specific location within the source, such as the page number in this example.

    The correct version would be: (Rogers, 2003, p. 18)
