MY ACHIEVEMENT 3 @favourdavid614: Content etiquette.
Content etiquette refers to the code of conduct which governs the way and process whereby things are done in a community. These are the rules governing the community.
If there is one rule that the steemit community doesn't joke with, it is PLAGIARISM.This is a very big offence to steemit and brings about severe punishment.
There is nothing new under the sun… that is why you can wake in the morning with a “fresh” idea or a piece of article on a particular topic. But when you search up your idea, you find that a host of others have similar, if not same ideas as yours. Yes, it is!
What then is plagiarism?
According to Oxford dictionary ; PLAGIARISM is presenting someone else’s work or ideas as your own, with or without their consent, by incorporating it into your work without full acknowledgement.
It also means to commit literary theft; the practice of taking someone else's work or ideas and passing them off as one's own.
If we say plagiarism is just copy and paste, then this definition does not carry the magnitude of this crime as it is also LYING and STEALING.
There are many types of plagiarism, but I wish to share my understanding on just three of them:
Paraphrasing plagiarism;
Auto/self-plagiarism;
Complete plagiarism.
PARAPHRASING PLAGIARISM: This is the most common form of plagiarism. This happens when one takes another's writing, changes some words, and passes it off as his or her work. Even if the wordings are different, the idea remains the original author’s own.
AUTO/SELF PLAGIARISM: this happens when an author duplicates his or her work by reusing a portion or all of a previously published work without giving credit to the work.
COMPLETE PLAGIARISM: its the most severe form of plagiarism where a researcher takes a manuscript or study that someone else created, and submits it under his or her name. It is equivalent to intellectual theft and stealing.
Plagiarism doesn’t just stops at content alone, it also applies to copying a photo, music, or video from a source without giving proper credit to the source.
What are the consequences of plagiarism on steemit?
When traces of plagiarism is found in your content, you will automatically be downvoted by steem robots or the steem curators themselves, which may lead to the loss of valuable resources.
How to avoid plagiarism on steemit?
one must study and understand the topic he/she want to write about before penning it down.
When attaching a picture, the person must also attach the link to the original source of this picture.
When copying a popular quote, don't forget to refer to the speaker.
Plagiarism is not accepted in steemit community and is considered a huge offense!!
I promise to abide by the rules and avoid plagiarizing anybody’s work.🙏🙏
