Book Review

Wish you all a Happy new year, while in the process of bringing this month issue, i realized that becoming a master of subject was not about reading the subject but it’s about applying it. Some sensational news’s make me think about going for this month’s article. It’s a big deal to get caught plagiarizing. Some faculties see copy-paste as a time-saving short-cut for writing journal papers; there are serious consequences to plagia-rism, even if it seems like an easy route to take. A new section called Campus Con-nections was introduced from this issue, to build a foundation of ac-ceptance of all cultures, faculties must intentionally create a climate where they feel a strong sense of belonging, feel confident that their diversity is a source of pride for their students and institution. Once again I invite all to make use of this plat-form to showcase your ideas.

“If you steal

from one author

it’s plagiarism; if

you steal from

many it’s

research”

-Wilson Mizner

Plagiarism is often defined as stealing some-

one else’s ideas. Practically it means

repeating a concept developed by

someone else without attributing it

to them. In academic literature this

is considered a very serious of-

fence.

Plagiarism is something that all peo-

ple do, to a small extent, all the time. We learn by repeating the knowledge of others, and repeat

clever phrases in general conversations. Causes of Plagiarism

Scholars may fear failure or fear taking risks in their own work.

Scholars may have poor time-management skills

Scholars not aware of the consequences of Plagiarisms.

Supervisors may not support scholars for how to research

and document sources Supervisors may pressure scholars for publishing papers in

listed journals for the sake of publishing, that scholars may

believe they are justified in copy and paste.

Evaluators and Departments may fail to report cheating

when it does occur, or may not enforce appro-

priate penalties.

Types of Plagiarism

Direct Plagiarism: Direct plagiarism is the word-

for-word transcription of a section of someone

else’s work, without attribution and without quota-

tion marks.

Self Plagiarism: Self-plagiarism occurs when a

student submits his or her own previous work, or

mixes parts of previous works, without permission

from all professors involved

Mosaic Plagiarism: Mosaic Plagiarism occurs when

a student borrows phrases from a source without

using quotation marks

Accidental Plagiarism: Accidental plagiarism oc-curs when a person neglects to cite their sources, or

misquotes their sources, or unintentionally para-

phrases a source by using similar words, groups of

words

Conclusion

Plagiarism matters seriously because you would be

letting yourself down, you would spoil your reputa-

tion as a scholar, disciplinary procedures may follow,

and there might be lasting consequences which could

limit your job prospects. It matters too because you

would be letting your institution down; it under-

mines the fundamental belief of research studies.

“In the past

ideas came

from the

brain, now

they come

from

Google”

The logical arrangement of the top-

ics maintains our interest level

throughout the book. “Why should

I study this chapter” gives us a cas-

ual introduction for the chapter. I

realize the meaning of “Quick refer-

ence” while I going through the

book. The Previous year QP’s come

with a purpose, where every ques-

tions points to the page numbers in

the book for answers, which obvi-

ously makes it a student friendly.

The Further reading section is my

favorite, which gives a link to all

prescribed book with its page num-

bers, which makes us comfortable

to clarify our doubts.
