• Hybrid-plagiarism: Coping a cited source documents and arrange it as a new document with out citation.

• Remix plagiarism: This means collecting information from various sources and mix all together as a single document then claim the work as their own.

How to avoid plagiarism.

• Make your own research, plan your research very well,ask for help from someone who know better than you.
