adopting parts from the writing of another writer without
proper mention of the source.

even a single word. The plagiarist can also change
parts of the sentences or replace some of the words
with his/her own. However, it also comes under the
crime of plagiarism.

plagiarism is the most harmful one. when the plagiarist
copies and paste the text from someone else’s work
and neglects to cite the source or remove quotation
marks, then it is direct plagiarism.

offense. This duplicate content falls under the category
of deliberately plagiarised content. It is unethical, and
the writer of the original content can take disciplinary
actions against the plagiarist.
MOSAIC PLAGIARISM

unintentional. In this case, the plagiarist may have
mentioned the source of the content he has referred to.

put them under the quotation marks correctly, then the
writer commits the crime of plagiarism.
