What is plagiarism?
Plagiarism is presenting someone else's work as yours . Copying from anywhere like website, research papers, books , friends, etc . It is like steeling someone's ideas, thoughts, thinking, etc and getting credit of their efforts. It is totally illegal however if you mention source it will not be considered illegal. Plagiarism is the representation of another authors language, thoughts, ideas, or expressions as ones own original work
Plagiarism is considered as academic dishonesty and a breach of journalistic
ethics. In simple words I should say that plagiarism is copying others work in your own research.Using someone’s ideas without citing or quoting thereby, receiving credit for someone else’s intellectual effort.
How To Avoid Plagiarism ?
Simply don’t cut and paste from a website or retype something from a print source. Even if you do then use quotes and citations properly. Write the information in your own words, but do not change its meaning or intention Because you are using someone else’s idea, always mention the source even if you use your own words. You may have been told that if you put something into your own words, you need not cite. This is incorrect. The material is still someone else’s idea and requires acknowledgement. Paraphrasing requires a citation. If you don’t give credit to a source, it is a violation of copyright laws.
Types Of Plagiarism
Complete Plagiarism : The word itself says complete means totally stolen content from others.If someone steals or copies entire work of others and that his/her own without giving proper citation or mentioning source that is known as complete plagiarism.
Self Plagiarism : It occurs when somebody uses anyones previous assignment work without getting the permission of the writer.
One should always be what one is ..
Plagiarism should be avoided .
I have understood plagiarism upto my best and I will follow it by my heart.
