plagiarism:
1. Forgetting to put quotation marks on phrases quoted
directly from a source
2. Failing to provide accurate information about the source
cited within the text
3. Changing only few words but copying the sentence
structure of a source without giving credit
4. Copying so many words or ideas from a source (whether

following reasons:
1. Stealing other people’s ideas can result in expulsion
or loss of academic degree.

has put in previous works.
3. Plagiarism is easily detected now with the aid of
software or applications.
4. Intellectual fraud can be punishable by the law due
to Intellectual Property Rights.
