What is Plagiarism?

When you representing the work of others with your own claim so called your creation that's creating the problem of stealing someone's work even though you didn't just copy and paste you did your own research and writing artical.

EXSAMPLE :

Original source: "The law of the land prohibited slaves from seeking remuneration from their masters for even the most heinous crimes."

Plagiarizing: "The law of the land forbade slaves from seeking damages from their masters for even the most vile crimes."

other types of Plagiarism

◆ You pay someone to write for you.

◆ tricking ideas of someone appears that your own.

◆Even downloading someone writings from the internet

How to avoid Plagiarism :

◆ Get to know about what your going to write.

Well it may sounds easy but ideas evolved through someone's ideas that's the fact and no one can deny it. But they way you observe from it and your opinion on that idea and never forget to give credit to the other authors.

◆ Refer your quotes:

You must include a bibliography or works cited in your paper. If you use a direct quote from another author's work, then you must quote it and cite it properly. Many teachers accept the standard MLA format, unless otherwise specified.

◆ Paraphrase

The second way to avoid plagiarism is with a paraphrase. A paraphrase is typically the same length as the original text but written in YOUR own words, like a summary. So a paraphrase of a page would be about a page; a paraphrase of a paragraph would be roughly the same length as the original paragraph. The real trick to paraphrasing is making sure you use your own words and NOT using the words from the original source.

◆ Understand about copyright claims :

Plagiarism can be more than a bad academic practice, it can be a violation of the law if you break copyright. Here is what you need to understand to stay legal:
As a general rule, facts cannot be copyrighted. This means that you are able to use any facts you find to support your writing.[4]
Although facts are not subject to copyright, the words used to express them are, particularly if the wording is original or unique (copyright covers original expression). You are free to use information from other materials in your articles, but you must use your own words to express it. To avoid this, you can take the existing facts and put them into your own words. There is a grace on how different the phrase can be; adding a comma is not enough. However, changing the grammar around is.

Even for this Artical i have to go through many blogs and articals to collect all these information i may accused by @cheetah that he found similar content readers may interested in. See in my opinion

"Ideas comes from someone idea even the words and letters you use to express yourself they invented by many others In the past."

Ideas shape the course of history
