How Can Plagiarism
in Research Paper
Be Prevented?
Allow ample time for writing and
revision
Use quotation marks and give
the source
Paraphrase the original text in your
words and cite the source
Read widely on many topics and
read good writers
Record the bibliographic details of
sources accurately
Conduct a plagiarism check on
your manuscript
Allow ample time for writing and revision. 


The most common reason why many academics resort to plagiarism is that it is
quicker to copy and paste than generating fresh text. Writing is not only hard but
also slow. Remember that many journals routinely check every new manuscript for
plagiarism and if yours is rejected on that ground, you have lost valuable time.
Make every effort to use your own words when making notes and refer to those
notes rather than the original as you write your first draft (after all, you can always
turn later to the saved original for cross-checking).
Use quotation marks and give the source.

 

Perhaps the easiest way to avoid plagiarism is to make it clear that the
block of text is not what you wrote but is a direct quotation. And that is
why you have not only provided a citation but also enclosed it within
quotation marks. For example, “read complicated texts—especially
PhD theses produced at UK universities . . . they are likely to be written
in good academic English” (Anikina 2021). When you do this, ensure
that the extract is reproduced exactly, word for word. Also, check that
the original punctuation, italics if any, and spelling are retained.
Paraphrase the original text in your words and
cite the source.


Remember that rephrasing somebody else’s idea with proper attribution
is not plagiarism; however, you need to express the idea in your words. Do not keep
the original in front of you as you write, because it will make it difficult for you to
think of alternative words and alternative ways of constructing sentences. Using
your words is not easy, which is why you need to read widely, going beyond
technical journals and textbooks. Most important, ensure that the sense of the
original is not distorted while paraphrasing.
Read widely on many topics and read
good writers.  

 

Make a conscious attempt to increase your vocabulary by reading on a
variety of topics. Read books written by authors known for the quality
of their writing, which will help you absorb a variety of sentence
constructions; that variety and a richer vocabulary will help you
paraphrase easily and effectively.The time you spend on reading is not
wasted: it is good investment that will pay dividends later.
Record the bibliographic details of
sources accurately. 


Citing a source is a simple way to avoid plagiarism, but you must have the correct
details of each source that you cite. Although tracing original papers is a lot easier
now, it is also easier to make mistakes while copying or transcribing. Always
cross-check all the citations and references.
Conduct a plagiarism check on your
manuscript. 

 

If you are not very confident of your ability to write or paraphrase
sentences effectively, you could seek plagiarism-check services.
These will help you determine if your manuscript has any sections that
will be considered plagiarized and thus take appropriate and timely
action. For example, Editage’s Scientific Editing Service, which is
designed to offer high-quality language and developmental editing,
includes additional benefits such as unlimited rounds of plagiarism
check for 12 months.
