The researchers use a questionnaire that consisted of (35) paragraphs with (5) options (very widespread, highly widespread, moderately widespread, little widespread, very little widespread).

It was divided into two sections : scientific plagiarism which includes (15) paragraphs, and repercussions of scientific plagiarism which includes (23) paragraphs after verifying and reliability.

The results show a high level of the scientific plagiarism from the point of view of faculties whereby the (linguistic synonyms) rank the first paragraph which reached (83.1%) in the first section.

Whilst, the results show that (assigning the wrong person in the inappropriate place) rank the first which reached 82.1% in the second section.

The results also show that there were no significant differences as according to specialization, scientific titles and academic degree.
