In an electronic world of "cut and paste" it is easy to fail to credit sources appropriately. Yes, paraphrasing is plagiarism.

"All of the following are considered plagiarism: copying words or ideas from someone else without giving credit, failing to put a quotation in quotation marks, giving incorrect information about the source of a quotation, changing words but copying the sentence structure of a source without giving credit."
