Abstract
Plagiarism is basically citing another author’s language or taking up their ideas and representing them as one’s own original work. There are 5 types of plagiarism: copy and paste plagiarism, word switch plagiarism, style plagiarism, metaphor plagiarism, and idea plagiarism. Plagiarists are the literary pirates involved in such activities. Different types of Plagiarists have been identified according to their mode of exploit. Plagiarism is a world-wide problem and actions taken to prevent it have been intensifying after realising the impact of digitalised text, of the Internet, global communications and increasingly efficient search engines. Copyright laws protect writer’s words as their legal property. To avoid the charge of plagiarism, writers take care to credit those from whom they borrow and quote. Keywords: Plagiarism, Research
