Achievement 3. Content Etiquette
The term "Plagiarism" mean making someone else’s write up or ideas as your own, it may be with or without their consent, or by adding it into your work without the acknowledgement of the owner of the write up or idea. All disclosed and hidsen material, it can be in manuscript, the one printed or the ones in an electronic form, is covered under this plagiarism definition. Plagiarism may be recklessly, intentional or unintentional. In the regulations for examinations, it doesn't matter if you plagiarized intentional or not, any plagiarism found in your work is a disciplinary offence.
These are the points to be considered as plagiarism:
- When you steal someone else's idea
- When you write someone's article or writings
- When you don't quote where you find the write up, idea, the photo or video.
- When you use an images or phone that's not free to use
Types of Plagiarism
Complete Plagiarism
Direct plagiarism
Paraphrasing plagiarism
Accidental plagiarism
Complete plagiarism is when you copy the whole article, write up or idea and claim it as your own. It's a real serious one
Direct plagiarism is when you use someone's work or research without sourcing it, or quote the owner of the article, presenting the article as their own
Paraphrasing plagiarism is when you copy someone's writing or article and change some words in it to make it presentable. Even if you change some of the words, it would still remain the same.
Accidental Plagiarism is when you plagiarized intentional. For example ; when you use a sentence that someone else has used before, or you used an article which happen to be someone else's work or research. But plagiarism doesn't matter if it's an accident or intention, any plagiarism found is disciplinary offence!
But now, there are some tools only can be used to search if plagiarism is in your articles or work. Example of the tools is https://smallseotools.com/plagiarism-checker/ , https://plagiarismdetector.net/ etc
There are websites which their photos are free to use; websites like pixabay.com pexel.com etc. And if you want to use photos from websites that are not free, let it be a licenseable one, and source the website that you took it from
For example, to cite image from sites that aren't free, search engines like google can help you
Type what you are looking for on Google then click image
After that, click on the symbol shown in my screenshot below and then use creative common license
then click on the image and download it. after that, make sure you copy the URL so as to signify where you find the image and to show it's licenceable one
User the image after uploaded, then open a bracket [ a bracket like this and write "Licenseable the close it ] after that open another basket like this one ( without giving space then paste the URL link you copied inside it and close it with this bracket )
Are how it would look like
