Plagiarism is related with the ethical and the legal problem which researchers will be careful. Plagiarism is defined as using ideas, words and verbatim of others as if they were his/her own without proper citations. The issue involved in the use of others’ ideas, words and verbatim without proper citations is academic dishonesty required for all academic researchers and students as well. Plagiarism, therefore, is associated with methods of citation. The main aims of this paper is to understand plagiarism which is one of research misconduct. To the end, I examined the concept, characteristics, types of plagiarism and also searched the criteria of plagiarism and the honest and right academic writing to prevent plagiarism. There are various types of plagiarism. I discussed mainly four types of plagiarism; text plagiarism(word-for word plagiarism), paraphrasing plagiarism, patch writing, plagiarism of the form of a source. To avoid the deliberate or undeliberate attempt to plagiarize, researchers should write ethically. This means researcher use proper amount of quotations, which means their work should not be filled with quotations. If one uses too many quotations or does not give credit in accordance with the accepted fair practices of the relevant research community in their creative work written on the basis of their own or another’s work, this constitutes plagiarism.
