3. INTRODUCTION
The oxford dictionary defines plagarism as “The practice of
someone else’s work or ideas passing them as ones own”
It can also be defined as:- the "wrongful appropriation" and
"stealing and publication" of another author's "language, thoughts,
ideas, or expressions" and the representation of them as one's own
original work.
Plagiarism now is not confined to mere cut and paste;
synonymizing and translation technologies
are giving a new dimension to plagiarism.

4. FORMS OF PLAGARISM
The Ghost Writer: making a copy
of another work's word for word and
verbatim to this without being of
citing the original document.
The photocopy writer: to make
copy of significant portion of
another writings from one and
single source without modification
and acknowledgment to the source
used.
The Potluck Paper writer: attempt
of copying from several other
sources with a few changes have
made of paragraphs and sentences
retaining most of the original
phrasing.
The Self-Stealer writer: borrows
idea generously from own previous
works and common threat to all
above not putting the original
source.

5. TYPES OF PLAGIARISM
Copying- most common type,To copy someone else's work and put
your name on it, you have plagiarized.
Patchwork Plagiarism: similar to copying and is perhaps the
second most common type of plagiarism. Occurs when the plagiarizer
borrows the "phrases and clauses from the original source and weaves
them into his own writing" without putting the phrases in quotation
marks or citing the author.
Paraphrasing Plagiarism: occurs when the plagiarizer
paraphrases or summarizes another's work without citing the source.
Even changing the words a little or using synonyms but retaining the
author's essential thoughts, sentence structure, and/or style without
citing the source is still considered plagiarism.
Unintentional Plagiarism: occurs when the writer incorrectly
quotes and/or incorrectly cites a source they are using.
