The way to decrease plagiarism is to learn how to write the same thing in different ways. It is a skill developed over time and requires patience. Copying and pasting is obviously time efficient due to the pressures we face on a daily basis. However, the issue of plagiarism is not acceptable for academic research and papers, but there is copying in most business presentations. You copy tables and data from other sources and present at your company meeting.

In my view, read the article, interpret and put in your own way - dont forget to refer to the  author(s) and where there is a direct quotation, it has to be exact and in open/close quotes.

How to avoid or decrease plagiarism?

There are numerous methods like paraphrasing, summarizing, literally quoting with citation, scanning your manuscripts with plagiarism software etc.  One of the possible approaches is to treat plagiarism as a hidden long term disease that it might not bite you now but can bite you later after many years while you are least unexpected.  Encountered some prominent people lost their credibility, reputation or even job after their previous plagiarism act being discovered after many years.  Think the best way to avoid plagiarism is to not even touch it.

I believe the best way to do this is to read the section you want to extract information from, and make absolutely sure you understand it thoroughly and completely.

Then reduce the information to a written set of brief individual points -- all the points that are relevant to what you want to say, based on this source.

If necessary, leave this list of points to one side for a day or two, or however long it takes until you have forgotten exactly how the original piece of prose was written.

Then see if it is possible to arrange the points in a somewhat different sequence, and flesh the notes out to make continuous prose out of them.

You do need to be a good writer to do this easily, but the more you do it, the better you will become at it.

This question has been kinda a trend on RG these days. The simple and best ways to avoid and reduce plagiarism are:

1. Cite the source of the information from which you have taken the idea in a proper manner.

2. Do not just copy paste the information from other articles, paraphrase the required information and obviously then cite the source.

The factors that influences our thought process address the likelihood of decreased plagiarism. Extraction of only essence from any piece of publication and using it in one's own way is one way to lesser duplication. Incorporating resources utilised in a publication with prior or proper permission for eg images, figures etc.  is another way. Correctly acknowledging the author/authors in a public presentation and during web publication. In-depth understanding with advanced filter search and drafting it in one's own pen avoids plagiarism. Good writing skill and correct grammatical presentation also helps in avoiding the chances of plagiarism.

Plagiarism is a serious problem and it is a crime. It will destroy your credibility. The best way to avoid plagiarism is " don't copy paste" anything. Use your own sentences and give proper citations wherever required . Also avoid self plagiarism. Use a good plagiarism checking software before sending your work for publication.

 First of all, you have to be honest. Just cite the source from where you taken anything even an idea. Conspicuously, there are large number of softwares available in the market to check the plagiarism such as turnitin, Urkund etc. Going through these software, u can identify the plagiarized content and after detection, you can paraphrase those texts followed by proper citation. 

Furthermore, there is a difference between plagiarism and similarity index. Plagiarism occurred when you didn't acknowledge the source and similarity occurred when you have exactly copied the content of other person  with proper citation. Therefore, to some extent, similar content is acceptable for publication because there are things, you have to write it as it is like definitions, statistical formulas etc.

If you do have any query, please feel free to contact me.

To avoid plagiarism you must give credit when:

You use another person's ideas, opinions, or theories.

You use facts, statistics, graphics, drawings, music, etc., or any other type of information that does not comprise common knowledge.

You use quotations from another person's spoken or written word.

You paraphrase another person's spoken or written word.

To avoid plagiarism, be true to the core principles of research: INTEGRITY and EXCELLENCE

Thus, since your integrity is at stake, you must do well not to 'steal' someone's original ideas. Otherwise, your theft would be noticed sooner or later and that would mar your integrity (Quote and Cite when appropriate; Read, Understand and Paraphrased in your own words while giving the credit to the original owners of the ideas)

Excellence in research requires that your research contributes significantly to the growth of existing knowledge. Thus, the ideas you express must be of novelty or originality. Therefore, declare the owners of the ideas you borrowed and take credit for the new ideas you have brought into being.

You go to search for the information from papers because you want the knowledge. After getting the knowledge very well, trust me you can put it down using your own words. It takes time and practice. The problem is, many people don't want to understand, they just want to support their arguments and call it a day.

after, cite, qoute, summarise, rephrase, the rewriting of same things again and again is quite boring thing.. so there are some text changing softwares and online sites, where u can change the synonyms in sentences which ultimately reduces the plagiarism.

for example

but they never assaure the accuracy of text so be careful..
