At present, plagiarism becomes more and more prevalent due to the existence of the World Wide Web. This is so because many cybercitizens think that they can use any idea, information, or work posted on the web without giving due credit to those who owned or created such.

Unfortunately, the media and the various governments do not have many programs that address concerns on the prevention of plagiarism. The society, both of the real and the virtual world of the web, lack information dissemination campaigns on the ways of preventing plagiarism. However, to ensure competitive creativity development, the need to prevent plagiarism should definitely be addressed without delay as more and more technological innovations come and as communication and information exchange happens at a faster phase.
