What is plagiarism:

Plagiarism can take many different forms, from purposeful theft to unintentional copying from a
source without credit. Therefore, you must give credit where credit is due if you use someone
else's words or ideas in your work. Any illegal use of an article, in part or in full, without giving
due credit to the original author or researcher is plagiarism. Copying any piece of text is wrong.
The content loses its originality and credibility because it is essentially considered stolen.

Bloggers, researchers, and academics who create content must understand what plagiarism is. It
has an impact on the writing of a writer or author and can negatively alter the career of the
content producer by casting doubt on their credibility. As a result, they need to exercise caution.

Why plagiarism is important:

Plagiarism can occur for a variety of reasons, but it is always harmful. The majority of the time,
kids that plagiarize don't fully understand what plagiarism is. Sometimes they wind up
duplicating an article from another writer or webpage because they lack the time to compose it
themselves or are afraid of failing. Many students mistakenly believe that copying from already
published works will result in higher grades than generating original content.

Researchers and scholars should not plagiarize literature for a variety of reasons, not the least of
which is that it is a sort of intellectual theft. An article's main goal is to convey the author's
thoughts and ideas to the audience, and these sincere expressions of thought or ideas foster a
relationship between the reader and the author.

How is plagiarism defined at the university:

There should be no plagiarism in your work. Even if your score is only 1%, you still need to go
over each similarity and determine whether your work has to be revised.

Contrary to popular misconception, plagiarism checkers actually function by identifying


similarities rather than actual plagiarism. The Scriber plagiarism checker does not always flag
duplicate content as being plagiarized. Sometimes, our check raises the following red flags:

 correctly cited quotations


 References in your text or in your reference list
 Common expressions

As a result, you can normally adhere to these rules:

 A score of 10% or higher is problematic.


 It's not necessarily terrible to have a score between 5% and 10%.
 A score of about 5% is acceptable.

Act of deliberate cheating:

Cheating is a purposeful and dishonest behavior. This may entail taking notes to an exam, having
an essay written for you, or duplicating someone else's work while in college.

The employment of essay mills is the most typical type of academic fraud. These businesses
enable students to hire a writer to complete their essay, which they can then submit as their own.
Essay mills promote cheating as a legitimate substitute for working hard to target anxious
students who are overburdened with assignments.

The government declared that essay mills will be outlawed in October 2021 and that anyone
found trying to provide such a service would face criminal charges.
