• Copy and Paste Plagiarism: as the name implies, copying texts or posts from the internet or anywhere and presenting as one's own without references of the owner.

---

• Paraphrasing Plagiarism: is about copying phrases of original content from a source without quotes or acknowledgement to the owner and therefore could be termed as plagiarism.
