The term known as “Plagiarism” was first coined in English around the year 1601 by the dramatist Ben Jonson, in order to characterize someone committing theft in literary. The term plagiarize is taken from the Latin word plagiary to kidnap. So a plagiarist is the one committing plagiarism.Plagiarism is a serious form of scientific misconduct that results from “the failure to attribute words, ideas, or findings to their true authors” Specifically, the World Association of Medical Editors (WAME) defines plagiarism as “the use of others’ published and unpublished ideas or words without attribution or permission, and presenting them as new and original rather than derived from an existing source” The AIM of the present review is to provide a thorough account of plagiarism to builds awareness about all dimensions of plagiarism and the measures that a Scientific Researcher can adopt to avoid plagiarism
