PLAGIARISM

Plagiarism comes from the Latin word "Plagiarus" which means kidnapper and "Plagiare" which means stealing. From the origin of the word, Plagiarism means taking or using ideas, words, or sentences that are owned by other people without including the source they are quoted. So they admitted as a result of their own work. According to the Merriam-Webster online dictionary, to "plagiarize" means to steal and pass off (the ideas or words of another) as one's own or to use (another's production) without crediting the source. In other words, plagiarism is an act of fraud. It involves both stealing someone else's work and lying about it afterward.

There are several rules that can be applied to avoid plagiarism :

• 1       Don’t copy

Not good work if you copy word for word from any source. It would be better if you made a short quote with quotation marks and accompanied by the source where you quoted it.

• 2       Write in your own words

To acknowledge that it is your own work, you can write it in your own words. Whether in the style of language or the selection of words, or you can do things more easily by paraphrasing, which is composing your own sentence from the original arrangement of the writing by not forgetting to include the source.

• 3      Ask permission

If you use a table, image, or any type of data that has never been published at all but has been collected by someone, then you must ask permission when you want to use that data. Vice versa if you make your own table or image based on the data that has been collected by someone, then you also have to ask permission.

• 4       Add value

Don't use or write all the information you get. Take points or important topics then add to the knowledge or insight that you have. So that it can indicate that you understand what you are talking about.

• 5       Plagiarism checker
