  Plagiarism means stealing ideas and words of others as one’s own without crediting the source. Plagiarism involves copying of phrases, clauses, sentences, paragraphs, or longer extracts from published or unpublished work that exceeds the boundaries of the legitimate cooperation without

  acknowledgment of the source.

   Types of Plagiarism

  Plagiarism could be of two types

  2. b) Dishonest OR intentional plagiarism:It means knowingly and deliberately presenting another person’s work as one’s own work without acknowledging the Source.

   Avoiding Plagiarism:

  Plagiarism could be avoided by paraphrasing, citing, quoting, and referencing the original work.  There are five basic rules regarding the use of information in professional and in academic writing:

  1. If you use the language of your source, you must quote it exactly, enclose it in quotation marks, and cite the source.
  2. If you use ideas or information that is not common knowledge, you must cite the source.
  3. If you didn’t invent it, cite the source.
  4. Unless your professor explicitly tells you to paraphrase, don’t paraphrase.
  5. When in doubt, cite the source. Doing so can only enhance your reader's sense of your honesty.

  It is the prime responsibility of an institute or research guide to distinguish between original and

  plagiarized work.  In order to detect the plagiarism well known softwares / tools (Turnitin, Urkund, Grammerly, Dupli checker, Copyleaks, Paperrater, Viper, Plagiarisma, Plagiarism Checker, Plagium, Plagscan, PlagTracker etc) can be used.
