Content etiquette can be defined as the rule governing socially acceptable behavior which guides someone on how to post ideas, contents, materials and information on Steemit.

*WHAT IS PLAGIARISM?
Plagiarism is an act of using somebody else’s ideas, work, words, contents, research, or other material as yours without giving credit to the source or the author.

*TYPES OF PLAGIARISM
There are different types of plagiarism which I’ll do my best to explain.

Direct Plagiarism:
Most commonly, the crime of plagiarism involves adopting parts from the writing of another writer without proper mention of the source. Often the person copying from the text does not change even a single word. The plagiarist can also change parts of sentences or replace some of the words with his/her own. However, it also comes under the crime of plagiarism.

Mosaic Plagiarism:
There is another type of plagiarism which is unintentional. In this case, the plagiarist may have mentioned the source of the content he has referred to. But, if he/she does not acknowledge the quoted part or put them under the quotation marks correctly, then the writer commits the crime of plagiarism.
Whether intended or unintended, plagiarism is a serious crime as it ensures writing to be the property of a writer.

Self-Plagiarism:
Self-plagiarism is one of the common types of plagiarism, where high school students copy and paste part of their previously submitted academic paper. If the student submits the same paper for two different class projects without asking the concerned teacher, then that is considered as self-plagiarism

Accidental Plagiarism:
Another common form of plagiarism involves accidental plagiarism. When the plagiarist misquotes the phrases or parts of the text he/she has taken from the source material or does not cite the source even or adequately or cites a wrong source, they that is considered as plagiarism.

HOW TO AVOID PLAGIARISM

1. Direct citations of contents from the source should be noted.
2. Stop receiving applauds and taking credits on contents that is not yours.
3. A clear research is necessary to be carried out on information you are about to embark on to avoid plagiarism.
4. Make sure you use plagiarism check app to cross check your work so as to avoid plagiarism.
