The plagiarism-checking company Turnitin has recently published an infographic that shows statistics for students' plagiarism of online sources.
The graphic compares statistics for unoriginal content by both secondary and higher education students, and how those rates have grown over the past few years. Unsurprisingly, Wikipedia is among the most plagiarized sources. At the college level, however, more and more students are copying and pasting content from social media sources than anywhere else -- including the popular academic site SlideShare.
If you are at all curious about plagiarism in higher education, this infographic is worth a glance.
