Abstract

Many researchers across the world believe that plagiarism is blatant dishonesty tantamount to theft. Plagiarism can be divided into plagiarism of ideas and plagiarism of words. While no one doubts that plagiarism of ideas is unethical, different authors have differing views on plagiarism of words. Among the many reasons for committing plagiarism, laziness might be the most common cause among native English speakers, but non-English speaking authors may be re-using previously published texts because they are disinclined to sacrifice accuracy and quality for want of linguistic expertise.
