Due to advanced technology i.e. internet, textual material can be plagiarized very easily. A student can copy some paragraphs or the whole essay through internet. There are certain strategies which can help students not to copy the research paper and do the assignment on their own.

By taking certain steps you can reduce plagiarism. Some of the reasons include these: Many students try to take the shortest route possible to finish the assignment. Students copy the assignment because they are overloaded with work. Remind students not to copy the course and to develop skills on their own. The more they do their research paper on their own the will learn to develop their skills. Students have lot of work to do so they give less priority to this work. Students give less interest to assignment work because they do not like the research topic. Students will show interest when they get research topic that fascinates them.

Some students are laggards, while others do not know how much time they should spend to develop a research paper, so students tend to copy the assignment as they have less time. If students are able to finish the structure (topic, outline, draft etc) at regular intervals, they will be able to complete the paper on time. Some students do not have the skill to write properly. Such students will copy online some of the bad research paper thinking they are good ones. We should make them realize how poor online papers are and emphasize the value of learning process. Students can get help from a writing center, teachers, online writing lab sites etc. This can help them write their research paper well.
