Plagiarism: Meaning

According to the Oxford English Dictionary, plagiarism is: "The practice of taking someone else's work or ideas and passing them off as one's own". So, plagiarism is blatant theft of ideas, words, or products of others. Some of the leading examples of plagiarism include the following:
Source

Copying a paper verbatim that is available in digital or printed form.

Taking someone else's work and presenting it as completely your own.

Handing in or submitting the papers that you didn't write actually.

Paraphrasing

Types of Plagiarism
There are many types of plagiarism. I jst want to list just few for you.

Direct Plagiarism: It is the word-for-word transcription of a section of someone else's work, where the user doesn't use quotation marks or proper citation. Such deliberate actions are considered academic dishonesty.

Self-Plagiarism: It occurs when a person submits his/her own previous work or a mixture of past assignments without permission from the professor unchanged of the assignment.

Patch Writing: It is also called as "Mosaic Plagiarism." It occurs when a student borrows phrases from a source without using quotation marks.

Accidental Plagiarism: Such situation happens when a person neglects to cite their sources, or misquotes them. grouping of words that match some other source may also fall under this. Cases of this type of plagiarism is taken very seriously than any other plagiarism.

How to Avoid Plagiarism?
By following the simple suggestions that I will be listing out you can easily avoid plagiarism and it's consequences.

In most of the cases, we can avoid it by citing original sources. A simple acknowledgement that certain material has been borrowed from the said source can keep things normal.

A student can certainly improve his learning of different citation styles to avoid such academic abomination. Plagiarism detectors has also tried to help students by making a dedicated page of 'referencing guide'.

Even if we try our best, it may still fall in the art of plagiarism unknowingly . Therefore, the last option is to apply a plagiarism detector like Plagiarism and use it for every assignment to be sure of not engaging in such act..
Conclusion
I have read and understood more about plagiarism that is not good for the society as well as the country at large because of numerous reasons like making a person non serious so am urging everyone whether in this platform or not to say no to plagiarism and avoid it's ugly consequences.
