Reverse Plagiarism


giving credit to a resource that you did not use at all, in order to achieve the minimum amount of required outside sources needed for a research paper or project.
“how did you get all your sources for the history paper?”

“i used reverse plagiarism on some books i found on google and amazon.”
citing someone else for an idea that you came up with, if only to make it sound like a legitimate idea. this is the opposite principle to normal plagiarism, which involves portraying someone else’s idea as your own. neither is recommended.
