What is the 5 word rule?
 
My understanding is that the toughest standard regarding plagiarism is the "five (consecutive) word" rule, which holds that, if there are five or or more consecutive words identical to someone else's writing, then you are guilty of plagiarism.Apr 2, 2013
 

What exactly is the "five (consecutive) word" plagiarism rule?

 

 

Generally, a phrase that contains five or more consecutive words exactly as they appear in the source should appear in quotation marks (proper nouns and common language excluded) or be paraphrased. Remember: whether you are paraphrasing or quoting source information, always cite it. Try to limit direct quotations.Aug 10, 2020

Does paraphrasing really just mean switching some words around?
 
 
Paraphrase means to describe the ideas and words of another author in your own words. Your paraphrase must be sufficiently distinct from the original passage. Paraphrasing is not simply changing a word or two or rearranging the author's sentences (you might as well use the original passage in quotation marks).Oct 24, 2023

 

When paraphrasing how many words in a row can be the same as in the original?
 
 
Copy no more than 3-4 words in a row (except for technical terms that can't be paraphrased. Make sure you have copied no more than 20% of the original language). Remember, in a paraphrase, you've got to change the structure of the original and as many of the words as possible.Sep 8, 2023
 
What is the golden rule of paraphrasing?
 
 
The golden rule of paraphrasing is that you must fully understand the source information before attempting to re-write it. Once you fully comprehend the subject in hand, you'll be able to confidently summarise and convey the message in your paraphrasing.
 
Is changing a few words enough to count as paraphrasing?
 
 
To correctly paraphrase, you must completely re-word the passage or content using your own words. Changing a few words here and there isn't enough to paraphrase and may instead be plagiarism, even if it's unintentional. Make sure to also include an in-text citation whenever you paraphrase.
