Plagiarism in Academic Writings



Plagiarism is using others' words, thoughts, insights, concepts, images, phrases, and so on without giving credit to the author(s). Along with these, submitting someone else's work as one's
own; failing to use a quotation in quotation marks; providing false information about the source of a quotation; changing the words of a sentence without changing the structure and giving no credit; copying so many words or ideas from a source that it makes up the majority of the work, whether you cite it or not (Alam: 2020); copying online sources in a paper without mentioning source; using your own published research or idea in another publication without giving the credit; and even translating from other languages are considered as plagiarism. According to the World Association of Medical Editors (WAME), sequentially 6 words; or 7-11 words of a set of 30 words from a source are the criteria for detecting Plagiarism. The most used software for detecting Plagiarism is Turnitin, iThenticate, and PlagScan. There is some free software for testing Plagiarism like Dupli Checker; Copyleaks; PaperRater; Plagiarisma (Alam: 2020) and so on. To avoid plagiarism, take notes or highlight interesting information about your dissertation, key ideas, or research, and after reading and taking notes, write a summary in your own words (University of Nottingham, n.d.). Copy the quotes exactly word by word from the source and use quotes with the page numbers.
