Intrinsic plagiarism detection is a critical domain in the field of text analysis that aims to identify plagiarized content within a document to check whether parts of the document are from the same author. As the development of Large Language Models (LLMs) based content generation tools such as, ChatGPT is publicly available, the challenge of intrinsic plagiarism has become increasingly significant in various domains. Consequently, there is a growing demand for robust and accurate detection methods to address this evolving landscape. In this context, the present study conducts a comprehensive Systematic Literature Review (SLR) to explore the landscape of intrinsic plagiarism detection. We systematically collected and rigorously analyzed 44 research papers that delve into various aspects of the domain, including common datasets, feature extraction techniques and intrinsic plagiarism detection methods. This SLR also highlights the evolution of detection approaches over time and the challenges faced in this context especially challenges associated with low-resource languages. To the best of our knowledge, there is no SLR exclusively based on the intrinsic plagiarism detection that bridge the gap in existing literature and offering valuable insights to researchers and practitioners. By consolidating the state-of-the-art findings, this SLR serves as a foundation for future research, enabling the development of more effective and efficient plagiarism detection solutions to combat the ever-evolving challenges posed by plagiarism in today's digital age.
