writer without any proper acknowledgement. In simple words it basically copying the
content of an author without giving it credit. Along with this, it include many things such
as using the quotation without acknowledging about their work, paraphrasing another
author work without reference. Moreover, it include adding the reference without noting
where it has been used in paragraph. In the week it has also discussed about the occurance
of plagiarism in the report such as not adapting the culture of academic writing, poor
organization and lack of self confidence. Furthermore, academic writer should avoid
practice of plagiarism as it can lead into many difficulties. On the other hand, reference are
attached at the end of the study that represent the authenticity of content such as it has been
taken form copyright website. In order to avoid any legal intervention. Along with this, it is
needed to showcase the contribution to the text that does not originated form authors. It
includes text from books and journal, primary as well as secondary sources likewise articles
on website. However, the most common approaches in referencing system is Harvard and
APA. Thus it is used to understand the idea of author related to influence other.
