This modernday technology like smartphones, modern laptops, portable devices, affordable internet, rapid adaptation of social media, and easy accessibility of online data and information poses a serious threat to the integrity of academia in terms of plagiarization. The widespread information on the internet and its ease of access to everyone are one of the vital reasons for academic dishonesty.
