Plagiarism is very serious academic offence because stealing the work of others using it on your own. It demoralizes the original sources. The word plagiarism originates from the Latin word ‘plagiarius’ (mean ‘kidnapper’) in the 17th century. “Plagiarism” means the practice of taking someone else’s work or idea and passing them as one’s own. Without giving necessary credits make use of others thought. Plagiarism is a serious academic offence. Types of Plagiarism: Intentional / Unintentional  Anytime you copy and paste verbatim from a source and do not give the source credit it. Improper paraphrasing is a very common form of plagiarism. This occurs when one lifts a direct phrase from another work and changes just a few words - and then claims the work as wholly their own. Learning how to properly paraphrase is a very important component of good writing. Self-plagiarism means reusing work that you have already published or submitted for a class. It can involve: Resubmitting an entire paper. Copying or paraphrasing passages from your previous work.

33. Limitations of Plagiarism Detection Software
 Commercially available software very costly
 Limitation of database available for cross checking
 Time consuming to check plagiarism using multiple sources with human intervention.
 Original research work and data are made available to a third party which may lead to copyright
violation.
 Plagiarism detection software can be fooled by making intelligent changes in syntax of plagiarized
portion of article or assignment.
 Detects common phrases and sentences that are used often used by everyone leading to increase in
overall proportion of plagiarized content in a given text.
