PLAGIARISM DEFINITION
Plagiarism is the fraudulent representation of another person's language, thoughts, ideas, or expressions as one's own original work
source
For instance
Citing a source but failing to provide a reference and failure to give credit to the creator of an idea.
TYPES OF PLAGIARISM
Plagiarism is classified into four types. These are:
Direct plagiarism
Direct plagiarism occurs when a writer uses another person's words without mentioning where they came from.
Example
A new article is being written by an article writer. Instead of writing them himself, he steals articles from other websites and publishes them under his own name on his website.
Self plagiarism
Self-plagiarism occurs when a writer copies themselves in a written piece. This is especially common in cases where the text is handwritten. Even if the individual is the creator, he must first obtain permission from the teacher before using a word from the teacher's idea.
Even though this type of copying is illegal, the punishment is less severe because the owner will not sue himself.
Accidental plagiarism
When someone uses someone else's ideas but fails to properly credit the source or leaves out important details, this is considered accidental plagiarism. He may give credit where credit is due, but he may also make errors, such as failing to give credit to the author or citing someone else.
Mosaic copying:
Mosaic plagiarism occurs when someone references a source from which they plagiarized an idea without using quotation marks. Writers must be honest enough to use quotation marks around any direct quotes.
REASONS WHY PEOPLE ENGAGE IN PLAGIARISM
