Slide 1: Introduction to the program
Researchers undertake a study through the assessment of different existing literatures and their
contribution to a field of study. However, there are cases where the researcher fails to avoid
uncertainties of plagiarisms, misinterpretation of data and lack of reliable sources, thereby
affecting the study vividly. Therefore, the session will critically examine the concepts relating to
plagiarism and lack of reliable sources and the manner in which it might affect a field of study.
Moreover, the session will also include a list of recommendations for avoiding situations relating
to plagiarism and lack of ethical sources of data in a research study.
Slide 2: Concept of Plagiarized content
Plagiarism is a simple act of using works of undertaken by someone else while not
acknowledging their contribution! In this relation, Guraya and Guraya (2017) opined that
plagiarism affects a research study through data manipulation, misinterpretation and falsification
which might affect the quality of the study. A simple copy paste might save some time in the
rush hours but is harmful for reputation and money loss. Therefore, plagiarism in a research
study not only derails the current study but also affects the quality of research.
Slide 3: Implications of plagiarized content
Plagiarized content might destroy the reputation of the students apart from getting expelled from
their universities and academic career. The development of plagiarized content might result to
lack of identifying the student’s true potency. On the other hand, plagiarized content might result
to legal action, fines and penalties based on the extent of the plagiarism that is being undertaken
in the research. Apart from all the financial implications the plagiarized content might drastically
affect the academic career of a researcher or a student.
