Temptations to Plagiarism There is great temptation to copy and paste other people’s works, due to Improved technology (Scanners, copiers, digital cameras, etc) Availability of easy-to-use word processing software e.g. Microsoft Word. Access to internet and Availability to electronic information – ejournals, ebooks, google resources. Access to services to professional / commercial research bureaus and assistants. Failure to acknowledge sources of information appropriately often lead to plagiarism.

Turnitin It is online service for educational institutions used to determine the originality of a written report.
