without even realizing it

That's not possible. You'll know when you copy something.

If I were to write about Bitcoin mining, as you suggested, there is a good chance that my own words will match those of someone else who has previously written about mining, and if the content were put through a plagiarism test, it would come back as copied, but you would know you wrote it from your head, which is what I meant by plagiarism without realizing.

[Academic work is continued work + added value.

And references Wink

You can't continue or add value without making it verifiable.

Yeah in science methodology must be shown - if it's something you invented yourself but if it's something you added value to then the existed work must be cited first for reference purpose.

I want to really understand something here, are you saying that someone who is writing an article about bitcoin mining and draft out like half of the article by itself and the completion of the work happened to be four lines stanza from someone's work that has be done initial or previously without adding the reference source, is not a plagarism? We are here to learn.

four stanzas? Without seeing at your material, I'm not sure my personal words can match four stanza of your words. It is feasible to write a one-line phrase, but not four stanza. That is plagiarism!
