4. Introduction Plagiarism is more than just copying—it is taking someone else's ideas or words and claiming them as your own. Words like "copying" and "borrowing" might make it sound less serious, but in reality, plagiarism is a form of intellectual theft. (kumar)

5. Stolen Words: Forays into the Origins and Ravages of Plagiarism (1989). Definition : It is the act of using someone else's words, ideas, or work without giving proper credit. Historical Background : In ancient times, copying texts was common because originality was not emphasized. During the Renaissance, individual creativity became important, and plagiarism was seen as wrong. In 1709, the first copyright law was introduced in England to protect authors' rights. Modern Forms of Plagiarism : Directly copying text without citation. Paraphrasing someone’s work without credit. Reusing one’s own previous work without acknowledgment (self-plagiarism). Impact of the Internet : While it has made copying easier, it has also led to the creation of plagiarism detection tools ( Grossberg)

6. "Plagiarism means the process or practice of using another person's ideas or work and pretending that it is your own." (PLAGIARISM ) Definition of Plagiarism

7. Plagiarism is wrong in two ways. it is like stealing when someone uses another person’s ideas, information, or words without giving credit. it is a form of cheating when someone pretends another person’s work is their own to get better grades or other benefits. Sometimes, plagiarism is seen as an ethical or moral mistake rather than a legal one because not all cases break copyright laws. (MLA Handbook) What is Plagiarism

8. Types of Plagiarism Plagiarism can be defined in many way here are some types of Plagiarism Intentional or Unintentional Mosaic or Patch Writing Self Plagiarism Ghost Writing (Roka)

9. Plagiarism can be intentional or unintentional. Intentional plagiarism happens when someone knowingly copies a full text, paragraph, or data and claims it as their own. Unintentional plagiarism occurs when a person is unaware of similar research, does not understand writing ethics, or does not know how to properly cite sources, leading to accidental similarity with existing work. Intentional or Unintentional 2. Mosaic or Patch Writing Mosaic or patchwriting plagiarism happens when someone takes text from an existing article and changes words or phrases to make it look different without giving credit to the original author. The American Medical Association Manual of Style explains that this type of plagiarism involves mixing someone else’s ideas and words with one’s own, creating a misleading combination where the original source is not properly acknowledged. (Roka)

10. 3. Self Plagiarism Self-plagiarism happens when a person reuses their own work, such as a published article, book, or journal, and presents it as completely new without mentioning the original source or getting permission from the previous publisher. Even though the content belongs to the same author, it is still considered unethical because it misleads readers and academic institutions by presenting old work as fresh research. 4 . Ghost Writing Ghostwriting plagiarism happens when the real writer is not given credit, or when someone who did not help is listed as the author. This is unfair and dishonest because it hides who actually did the work. Giving credit to the right people keeps writing honest. This type of plagiarism happens in schools, research, and publishing. When the real author is not acknowledged, it can mislead readers and harm academic honesty. It is important to recognize and appreciate everyone's contributions to maintain fairness and trust in writing. (Roka)

11. Reasons of Plagiarism Lack of knowledge about plagiarism Accidentally copying a work Forgetting to cite a source Desire to excel among peers A false belief that no one will catch them No interest in academic work and just taking that as an assignment Using shortcuts in the form of self-plagiarism (D, Deeptanshu)

12. Use your own words. Paraphrase properly. Cite your sources correctly. Use quotation marks for direct quotes. Keep track of references. Check what is common knowledge. Use plagiarism detection tools. Cite your own work to avoid self-plagiarism. Plan your work to avoid last-minute copying. Follow university/institution guidelines How to avoid plagiarism (kumar)

13. Guidelines for avoiding Plagiarism Creativity is key to making your work stand out. New ideas grow from reading and studying, which helps in personal growth and improves the way you look at future research. Always give credit to those who contributed to your work. If you use someone else's words, make sure to put them in quotation marks and cite the source. When summarizing someone else's ideas, make sure the original meaning stays the same. If you're unsure whether a fact is well-known, always check the source. Take notes before starting your work and make sure to write down references, rather than copying directly from others.
