Plagiarism

Use of another's ideas, language, or analysis without attribution — a violation of the Misrepresentation standard.

Plagiarism is treated under Standard I(C) Misrepresentation. The standard requires attributing borrowed material to its source, even for paraphrased ideas. Republishing a former employer’s research after leaving — even research one wrote oneself — without permission is also a violation, because the work product belongs to the former employer.
