Kamlesh Singh

2. Introduction:-
• Plagiarism is derived from the word “plagiarius” (literally kidnapper)
denoting stealing someone else‟s work
• Plagiarism is the use of another's original words or ideas in your own
work as though they were your own.
• You borrow from an original source and do not give proper credit, you
have committed plagiarism.

3. Definition of plagiarism
• MacMillan defines “plagiarism is the process of taking another person’s work, idea or
words and using them as if they were your own”.
• According to the Merriam-Webster Online Dictionary, to “plagiarize” means
1) To steal and pass off (the ideas or words of another) as your own
2) to use (another's work) without crediting the source
3) to commit literary theft
4) to present as new and original an idea or product derived from an existing source

5. Concept Of Plagarism
• Changing the words of an original source is not sufficient to prevent
plagiarism. If you have retained the essential idea of an original source,
and have not cited it, then no matter how drastically you may have
altered its context or presentation, you have still plagiarized

10. Plagarism and Resarch ethics
• In our day to day life we follow certain rules and adhere to a certain behavior, which is
termed as ethical.Similarly, a researcher has to abide by certain ethics while conducting
his work and these principles are generally common to all kinds of research ethics.
• Research, however novel its discoveries, is only of any value if it is carried out honestly.
We cannot trust the results of a research project if we suspect that the researchers have
not acted with integrity. what a person writes will be regarded as his own work;the ideas
will be considered his own unless he says to the contrary. The worst offence against
honesty in this respect is called plagiarism: directly copying someone else‟s work into
one‟s report, thesis etc. and letting it be assumed that it is one‟s own. Using the
thoughts, ideas and works of others without acknowledging their source, even if one has
paraphrased into his own words, is unethical.

11. • The basic aim and purpose of conducting research is to inculcate original thinking and
analysis, but extensive copying and plagiarism counters such purpose. Not only
plagiarism act as detrimental for the field of scholarship but it has been found that
menace of plagiarism is prevalent among university students and it is affecting them in
numerous ways
• Plagiarism is also regarded unethical because when a researcher forwards somebody
else‟s work as his own original work, it might be regarded as a kind of fraud. It hurts the
intellectual property right of the original owner, depicts disrespect of the researcher
towards his peers and questions theintegrity and honesty of the researcher.
• In fact, the initial purpose of conducting research, i.e. to learn and to commit something
new to the already existent knowledge, is corrupted not only does plagiarism harms the
prospects of original author, but a person guilty of plagiarism has to face much criticism
and under certain cases he might have to face severe penalties, both monetary and penal.
• A plagiarized article is considered uninspiring, unreliable and of lowquality and one
incident of plagiarism might jeopardize the whole careerof a scholar. With the initiation
of internet era, plagiarism has increasedmanifold, because now material is available with
much ease, but the reliability of such matter is generally questionable.
