Plagiarism means using or imitating the language and thoughts of some other person and projecting that representation as to our original work.

1. One must specify the source, which informs the reader about the basis of one's ideas and the extent of one's research.
2. To avoid plagiarism, one should refer to several sources, understand the concept, and then pen down one's understanding of the topic.
