Academic plagiarism basically refers to that situation when a writer uses more than four
words in the repeated form from a printed source without support of quotation marks. It is
basically illegal and unethical in terms of nature but also seems to be an upward trend in the
activity. Plagiarism is all about stealing someone else's work without giving them a proper credit
and within academic writing, plagiarism basically includes ideas, words or information from a
source without citing it in appropriate manner. Plagiarism has basically various number of forms
which basically includes copying the published or unpublished text of any length whether it is
done in deliberate manner or into the accident form (Akhmetova and Seytbenbet.,2018).
Plagiarism is also about paraphrasing the someone's arguments or ideas or copying someone
else's unique words without giving proper credit to them. It is also in the form by turning in a
thesis or paper which is written by someone else even if the individual is paid for it.
