Plagiarism can range from simple dishonesty (minor copy paste / any discrepancy) to a more serious problem (duplication of manuscript). Sometimes it is seen that the ideas those are innovative are not original and those seems original are not ours. Mainly the authors do cut- copy- paste from the original source without giving adequate credit to the main source. It is an emerging area of interest to all the researchers to know how to avoid plagiarism in this digital age. It’s time to every young researcher to know ethical guidelines while writing any research paper for publications.
