Educational institutions take student plagiarism seriously, accidental or not. Once caught, students may be warned by the authorities or suffer further action, including suspension, expulsion, failing grades, and losing credibility.

2. Adverse Impact on Professional Reputation

A professional writer of any trade needs to retain his work’s originality. Any work plagued with plagiarism can lead to a discredited reputation, which can often end a career.

3. Academic Reputation

When students or even educators are guilty of plagiarism, it affects their reputation negatively and that of the educational institution with whom they are associated.

4. 法的 Consequences

In severe plagiarism cases, the original owner of the content in question may file civil charges against the plagiarizing individual or organization.

Tips for 剽窃を避ける

Plan & Don't Procrastinate

Taking a few extra steps toward time management can save a lot of worries and possible embarrassment. Most plagiarism happens as a careless mistake due to rushing, but a careless mistake or not, the repercussions are the same.

Track Your
Sources

Whether your work has twenty sources or just one, keep track. For example, cite and add source information to your notes when you quote or paraphrase anything from another piece. If you wait till the end, the chances are that you’ll forget to cite something somewhere.

Know the
Rules of Style

Commonly, plagiarism can often be attributed to not knowing the rules of the required style for an assignment. Each style, whether it’s MLA, APA, or another, has unique rules; so make sure you know and understand them to avoid accidental plagiarism.

Utilize a
剽窃チェッカー

There are a lot of free plagiarism checkers available online. Start making it standard practice that once you complete an assignment or blog, run it through a plagiarism checker.
