In this video, Prof. Roger Watson, the Editor-in-Chief of Nurse Education in Practice, shares tips to avoid accidental plagiarism. 

He explains what plagiarism is and how to avoid it. He adds that Plagiarism essentially means using other people's ideas without acknowledgment. Journals take many steps to check for similarities in the manuscripts that are submitted to them and previously published work. Also, he advocates the use of similarity-checking software. 

According to Prof. Watson, one can avoid accidental plagiarism in multiple ways:
1) Quote

1) Enago Plagiarism Checker 
2) iThenticate 
3) Turnitin

1) Don’t Just Copy
