Accidental Plagiarism is a form on Unintentional Plagiarism and can be common in student research projects. It often occurs in one of these situations: failure to properly cite sources or using the source too closely when paraphrasing.
Whether the act of plagiarism is intentional or unintentional, it is still plagiarism and can be subject to some form of penalty. Therefore, it is important to develop good citation, quotation, and paraphrasing skills in order to avoid the pitfalls of accidental plagiarism.

As the title indicates, Self-Plagiarism occurs when something already published or submitted for a class is reused without proper citation. Depending on the student, this can be either Intentional or Unintentional Plagiarism.

Direct Plagiarism, also known as Clone Plagiarism, is similar to Complete Plagiarism. In this case a word-for-word copy of a section is included in the paper but the passage does not include quotes or proper attribution by citing the source. This can be either Intentional or Unintentional Plagiarism.
Mosaic Plagiarism, also known as Patchwork Plagiarism, is a form of indirect plagiarism that commonly occurs as accidental plagiarism due to poor paraphrasing. This happens when phrases and passages from multiple sources are mingled "together with minimal changes, and then presenting the product as a new contribution".
The SAGE Encyclopedia of Communication Research Methods (Vol. 3.)
Source-based Plagiarism occurs when a researcher cites the wrong source, such as using quoted or paraphrased information from a source and not citing the original source of the quoted/paraphrased passage.
Source-based Plagiarism also occurs when citing sources that do not exit.
