The term plagiarism is defined in the Dictionary of the Spanish language of the Royal Spanish Academy as the action of "copying in the substantial works of others, giving them as their own." [1] From the legal point of view is an infringement of the right of author about an artistic or intellectual work of any kind, which is incurred when an external work is presented as its own or original.
Thus, a person commits plagiarism if he copies or imitates something that does not belong to him and pretends to be the author of it without his authorization. In the case of written documents, for example, this offense is typified when, without the use of quotation marks or without explicitly indicating the origin, or citing the original source of the information, an idea, a paragraph, a foreign phrase, a photograph is included. or the complete work.
