The second type subconscious plagiarism is still under-discussed by experts but it has significant value to expand the horizon of knowledge. This study is aimed to explore the patterns of subconscious plagiarism within academic writing. Since subconscious plagiarism is related to awareness or cognizance issue this study is also designed to find out students cognizances during the writing process. This study employed a descriptive qualitative research design involving 18 students from one of the expository and argumentative essay writing classes in English Department of Universitas Negeri Surabaya (UNESA). This study adapted the procedure of data collection from some previous studies (replication) to make sure that the students would work within the area of their subconsciousness. Three instruments were involved students worksheets English argumentative essay writing task and an interview guide. The findings show that there are three different patterns of subconscious plagiarism which can be obtained from analyzing students final essays. These patterns are fully adopted idea modified idea and implicitly adopted idea. The results also show only five students who join the course out of eighteen were committing subconscious plagiarism. Furthermore the analyzed interview results indicate that the students have weak cognizance in recognizing their original arguments on their original worksheets. Instead they mentioned others arguments (the generated arguments during discussion session) and claimed those arguments as their own. Furthermore the results expose that all of the cases found in students final essays are true subconscious plagiarism cases or in other words students had no motives to commit conscious or deliberate plagiarism by copying or adopting others arguments. Regarding the research findings a recommendation is addressed to the policy makers who are hoped to be able to concoct some beneficial regulations and laws in restraining plagiarism commitments. Moreover a recommendation is also proposed to the teachers or lecturers to be more cautious in preventing controlling and also eliminating the cases of plagiarism in the schoolroom. Finally a recommendation is also given to other researchers who have the same area of concern. Thus a better advancement to prevent and eliminate the existence of plagiarism in various aspects or areas can be achieved in the future.
