The use of this term now a day’s
getting more and more common among the scientific community. According to
Dictionary.com plagiarism means “an act or instance of using or closely
imitating the language and thoughts of another author without authorization and
the representation of that author's work as one's own, as by not crediting the
original author”.
Recently, an article was published in Indian Journal of
Urology by Panda and Kekre. The authors tried to shed some light on this
burning issue. They gave some reasons why the plagiarism occurs and how to
avoid them. The most interesting suggestion of them is proper education to the
young researchers. The link of the article is -http://www.indianjurol.com/temp/IndianJUrol29287-5722709_013522.pdf.
Here I am suggesting a better way
to add the missing citations to your article which might be missed during the
writing of the article and it may cause you the victim of plagiarism. The name
of the software is Viper, very user-friendly and easy to use. Above all it is
totally free and you just need a system and internet connection. The link of
the software is http://www.scanmyessay.com/
Simply download it from the above
site and install it on your PC and make a user account. Now according to the
picture click on the “ADD” button and choose your article file and select
article category of the paper e.g. Biology, now click on “SCAN” and wait until the
process completed and make changes according to your need.
And one more suggestion don’t rely on
Wikipedia because it allows to anyone to edit it.
