Thank you for your help however I think you misunderstood me. In the sentence “Pediatric Residency Program” continued that the health insurance covers the pediatrician and his family. The part in quotations is the title of the source and I left it in to show that I cited. However i wanted to know if it was ok if i wrote “Pediatric Residency Program” continued that the health insurance covers the pediatrician and his family. When the source said free health insurance coverage for pediatrician and family. Would it be plagiarism or not?
Is your source a printed description of the program that is titled as such, or is it an article about the program that is titled as such? You should be clear about that. Just a title with no indication of what it is means nothing at all. Undoubtedly, a hospital that has such a program will provide health insurance for employees, in most cases. Like other employer-paid insurance programs, dependents may or may not be covered, in full or in part, by the employer. Sometimes the employee (in this case a resident physician) may pay all or part of dependent coverage out of her own pocket. It depends on the benefit package offered by the employee, be that a hospital, a bank, or any other employer. You need to be very specific about what program you refer to AND the source of the information about their employee benefit program. If I misunderstood, it's because you are not clear. Whatever you write, if you copy wording from your source, it's plagiarism, unless you use quotation marks and cite the source. If you put the information in your own words (still making the source of the information clear), it's not plagiarism.
I meant the benefit package offered by the employer, not employee. Typo. Sorry.
Sorry but I think the quotation marks are confusing you. What I want to know is if the health insurance covers the pediatrician and his family is an acceptable way to write free health insurance for employee and family. In my paper I read what you said about citing but I think it seems close. Is it acceptable to write it that way and avoid plagiarism?
You're not making sense. If you copy the words from your source, it's plagiarism. If you write/tell the information in your own words, it is NOT plagiarism! How much plainer can we be? Please don't ask his again. We have explained several times about attribution of information.
bobpursley also told you that there is no such thing as FREE health insurance. Someone pays for it. The insured pays the premium, an employer may pay all or part of it. Somebody pays for it.
Determining whether a specific text is considered plagiarism or not can depend on various factors, including the context and how it is used. Plagiarism typically refers to the act of using someone else's ideas or words without proper attribution. To assess whether the sentence you provided would be considered plagiarism, it is important to consider a few things:
1. Paraphrasing: Paraphrasing involves rewriting someone else's words or ideas in your own words while maintaining the original meaning. In your sentence, if you have indeed paraphrased the original source's statement, then it would be important to ensure that it accurately reflects the source while using your own words.
2. Proper citation: Citing the source you have referenced is crucial to avoiding plagiarism. In your example, you have included the title of the source, which is a good start. However, to provide proper attribution, it is important to include additional information such as the author, publication date, and page number (if available) in a recognized citation format (e.g., APA, MLA, etc.).
Considering these factors, if you have accurately paraphrased the original source and provided proper citation, then it would likely not be considered plagiarism. However, it's always a good practice to double-check your work and ensure that you have properly cited and paraphrased the original information to avoid any potential issues.
Remember, if you have any doubts or concerns about plagiarism, it is best to consult your school or institution's plagiarism policy or seek guidance from your instructor or academic advisor. They will be able to provide more specific information and guidance based on your academic institution's policies.
