ABSTRACT
Plagiarism refers to “the act of copying materials without actually acknowledging the original source”. Plagiarism has seen a widespread activity in the recent times. The increase in the number of materials available now in the electronic form and the easy access to the internet has increased plagiarism. Manual detection of plagiarism is not very easy and is time consuming due to the vast amount of contents available. Techniques are available now which help us to detect plagiarism. As the amount of programming code being created is increasing, techniques are available now to detect plagiarism in source code also. Current research is in the field of development of algorithms that can compare and detect plagiarism. In this paper a few techniques used in the Plagiarism Detection is shown along with some tools which are being used. Keywords : Plagiarism, Plagiarism Detection, Plagiarism Prevention, Source Code Plagiarism, Large Repositories
