Copying and pasting is outright plagiarism. Copying someone else's words is implying that you are the one who wrote them, which is not true if you copy and paste. To copy and place without performing plagiarism, you must quote the literature and site the source, paraphrase or reword the passage, or create a bibliography to show all your sources to show which exerpts came from which article or document.
