Let us know what plagiarism is.

Plagiarism means stealing or claiming someone's actual writing, poem, image, ideas, presentation, etc., as your own, which shouldn't be happened at all.

There are many types of plagiarism, such as:

COMPLETE PLAGIARISM

Complete plagiarism takes place when someone submits another's whole text as their own work without giving the original writer any credit.

DIRECT WORD-TO-WORD PLAGIARISM

It occurs when someone steals someone else's writing word by word and claims it as their own without mentioning the original writer's name or quotes.

SOURCE-BASED PLAGIARISM

We call them source-based plagiarism when writers mention sources but falsely confer the idea with false credit and imaginary sources.

ACCIDENTAL PLAGIARISM

Accidental plagiarism happens by neglecting or forgetting to cite one's sources or misquoting one source.

PARAPHRASING PLAGIARISM

It happens when paraphrasing someone else's ideas as your own work using a few of your own words or phrases without crediting them.

DIRECT PLAGIARISM

Direct plagiarism is almost similar to complete plagiarism. In complete plagiarism, someone steals the entire work of others but in direct plagiarism, maybe some portion of sentences or some sections without giving any credit to the original source.

MOSAIC OR PATCHWORK PLAGIARISM

It happens when putting together different pieces of writing from various sources to complete a new text and claim it as your own.

SELF PLAGIARISM

It occurs when someone reuses their previous work as their new one. It is considered unprofessional when you write the same content for your two clients.
