retrieval makes easier way and information is actually are at the fingertips. Students can
just google everything and will of course get many information. In line with the
development of information technology people are more likely to just use or in other
word will fully utilize all the information by their own without acknowledging where they
find them. Plagiarism is the act of taking credit for someone else's words or ideas. It's
an act of intellectual dishonesty, and it comes with serious consequences
(Valdez,2018). The Merriam Webster dictionary defines the act of plagiarism as; “to
steal and pass off ideas or words of another as one’s own”. Simply put, plagiarism is the
process of taking other people’s words and/or ideas and pretending that they are your
own. An alternative definition of plagiarism is forwarded by the Collins Dictionary which
explains that plagiarism is the practice of using someone else’s work and pretending
that it is your own. Plagiarism can also be defined as the act of deliberately trying to
deceive your academic tutor by submitting content which is not your own work.
Plagiarism have different forms such as paraphrasing plagiarism, mosaic plagiarism ,
verbatim plagiarism , global plagiarism .
Mosaic plagiarism occurs when a student borrows phrases from a source without
using quotation marks, or finds synonyms for the author's language while keeping to the
same general language structure and meaning as found in the original (Dee and Jacob,
2010). Sometimes we called this "path writing," this kind of plagiarism, whether
intentional or not, is academically dishonest and punishable. Even if you footnote your
source. Patchwork plagiarism (also known as mosaic plagiarism or incremental
plagiarism) is similar to paraphrasing. It is when you copy and paste together pieces of
different texts to create a new text. This includes rewording pieces of sourced material
while keeping the structure of the original texts.This type of plagiarism requires a little
more effort and is more insidious than simply incorrectly paraphrasing a source, but
plagiarism checkers like Turnitin can still easily detect this kind of plagiarism.
Verbatim Plagiarism is word for word copy from another source without providing
attribution (Malides,2013) . You commit verbatim plagiarism when you directly copy text
from a source and paste it in your own document without properly citing the information.
If the majority of the structure and words are the same, then it is verbatim plagiarism,
even if you delete or change a couple words here and there. If you want to use the exact
same words from a source, you need to quote the original source by putting the copied text in
quotation marks and including an in-text citation.
Global plagiarism is plagiarism that occurs when a speaker uses an entire work that is not his
