Summary
Academic publishing is a key factor for any person in academia. All research students, lecturers, professors and researchers in general tend to publish their works and the results of their studies in academic conference proceedings, books, journals or magazines (Hockenos, 2013). Plagiarism is the act of copying someone else text, idea or language and publish it as it is his/her own work. It is very clear from the above definitions that plagiarism is against the law, and the authors should avoid plagiarism in their own manuscripts. The present study is to propose some ethical techniques which can prevent or at least decrease the plagiarism. We present the unethical methods of masking plagiarism, which are employed by the authors who consciously plagiarize. To evaluate the efficiency of proposed ethical techniques, they are applied in five different texts using 16 students.
