Abstract

The word Plagiarism is derived from a Latin word ‘plagium’ which means - kidnapping someone. “Plagiarism is the act of appropriating the literary composition of another, or parts or passages of his writings, or the ideas or language of the same, and passing them off as the product of one’s mind” . Plagiarism does not only have to be the copied work of published data of another author but alsousing colleagues' work and evenour own previously published research work without referencing called as self-plagiarism. However, in India, self-plagiarism is not yet a crime under the Indi-an Copyright Act, 1957.
