Introduction
The word plagiarism has come from the Latin
word 'plagiarius,' which means to kidnap. It is the
act of using someone else's ideas, phrases, or
thoughts as your own without giving credit to the
other person.
Plagiarism is when you do not include the original
author's information in your paper. It is a
punishable offense, and it is a form of intellectual
theft.

1. Direct Plagiarism:
Definition:
Direct plagiarism is the most straightforward form, where a person copies a
portion of someone else's work without giving proper credit. It involves lifting
entire sentences, paragraphs, or more from a source without using quotation
marks or citing the original author.
Example:
If a student copies a paragraph from a book or an online article word-for-word
and presents it as their own work without citation, it is considered direct
plagiarism.

2. Self-Plagiarism
Definition:
Self-plagiarism, also known as autoplagiarism, occurs when a person submits
their own previously submitted work for a new assignment without proper
citation or permission. It involves reusing one's own work without
acknowledgment.
Example:
If a student submits an essay they wrote for a previous class as part of their
current assignment without indicating that it's a recycled piece, it constitutes
self-plagiarism.

3. Mosaic Plagiarism
Definition:
Mosaic plagiarism, also known as patchwriting, involves taking bits and pieces
from various sources and integrating them into one's own work without proper
citation. It often includes rephrasing or slightly altering the language of the
original source but still lacks proper attribution.
Example:
If a student combines sentences or phrases from different articles, rearranges
the words, but fails to acknowledge the original sources, it is considered mosaic
plagiarism.

4. Accidental Plagiarism
Definition:
Accidental plagiarism occurs when a person unintentionally fails to give proper
credit to the original source. It can happen due to a lack of understanding of
citation rules, poor note-taking, or careless mistakes.
Example:
If a student forgets to include a citation for a piece of information they found
during research because they were in a rush, it could be deemed accidental
plagiarism.
