Item Plagiarism: Knowing and It(2018-11-21) Amponsah, S.; Butakor, P.K.Issues of plagiarism date back to many centuries and have had a toll on academics and professionals all over the world. People may fall to plagiarism intentionally or unintentionally and there is always a price to pay for a person’s actions or inactions. Myriads of excuses have often been assigned by plagiarists. There is, however, no excuse for plagiarism as offenders risk sullying their academic reputations or being surcharged or both. Given this background, it becomes imperative that as academics, we get a thorough understanding of what constitutes plagiarism or otherwise in our academic writings. This presentation on plagiarism aims at delving into the roots of plagiarism, its types and how to avoid it through manual or technological means.
