It is also incorporating the work of others without attribution.
To quote from the languaged of the academic dishonesty policy used
by the University of Arkansas and many other institutions (see
http://www.nwacc.cc.ar.us/bus-comp/TCash/Rules.htm)),

"Plagiarism occurs both when the words of another are reproduced 
without acknowledgment or when the ideas or arguments of another are 
paraphrased in such a way as to lead the reader to believe that they 
originated with the writer."

See also:

http://www.arl.org/symp3/givler.html#note6

"Plagiarism is the use of someone else's ideas without attribution, 
whether or not the specific language in which the ideas are being 
expressed has also been taken from someone else."

http://www.keganlaw.com/faq.htm

"Academic plagiarism is using another's work without attribution."

http://www.du.edu/law/lawreview/honorcode.htm

"In general, plagiarism is using the ideas or statements of someone 
else without attribution."

http://nutsandbolts.washcoll.edu/plagiarism.html

"You are obligated, as an ethical obligation to other writers and as 
a defense for yourself, to acknowledge all borrowings you take from 
other sources, even if you don't copy the exact words used in the 
original—even if you never actually quote the original. Plagiarism 
includes: 

1. Quoting material without attribution. The most obvious kind of 
plagiarism. 


And on and on.... There are thousands of references on the Web.
