plagiarism as an act which extends from unreferenced usage of other scholars’ published as well
as unpublished ideas and concepts. These ideas primarily entail research grant applications to
submission under new ownership of complex paper in varied language. Such plagiarism work
can have its occurrence at any stage of planning, research, documenting and publication it
applies to digital and electronic versions. Furthermore, Yip, Han and Sng (2016) have stated over
than 80% of all scholastic dishonesty cases related to plagiarism has involved non-native
speakers who exhibit lesser degree of sincerity in comparison to native speakers. However, in its
most critical cases, specifically when it is deliberate, plagiarism is viewed as a critical offence.

will be retracted. At this juncture, according to Bruton and Rachal (2015), journal’s editorial
board may issue publication restriction on the author. Moreover, the final rejection or approval of

et al. (2014) have claimed that even if a manuscript has been passed by the reviewer, the editor
has the authority to reject in finding any areas detected plagiarised.
