Simple Steps to Apply to avoid Plagiarism in the community

There is need for this post to our young members in the community to help intimate them on the need to know the various holes to avoid while putting up a post on the platform. This was necessitated due to the ever-rising cases of plagiarism related reports especially for some of us engaging in the Steemit crypto academy lessons.

We all know that the SteemitCryptoAcademy community is the hub where students can learn, apply what they have learnt by participation and also earn from this participation. The need to continue in this process is as important as not being banned or blacklisted in its activities.

Therefore, let us pay details to some of these steps we are about to list out for our use;

1. The need to Read and Understand from your Source (Internet) before making any input. Most times we are in a haste to drop our post and this affects the quality of work done and hence found wanting in content spinning. Our Ability and power to summarise contents keep us far from being liable.

2. Knowing when to Quote or Apply Reference: There are some words we may find difficult to change and some phrases we would like to use just as seen from the source, a little sense of quoting would ameliorate being liable here. Let us endeavour to use this sign ">" to get quote cases like this.
   For example, >I love steemit

The outcome below is:

I love steemit

3.Not forgetting to add sources to your images and articles. This is another silent prey for those who indulge more using Internet images rather than being creative.

For example, add this HTML formula just below your article or Image in this way; [Source](enter the website details here)

Outcome below:

Source

4.Do not force yourself to participate in courses you find unappealing and difficult. It brings fatigue and hence leads to unintentional lifting of wordings (plagiarism). Always attempt those you feel more comfortable with.

5.Endeavour to use the plagiarism tool checker. This is to make sure you're free from any unforeseen content spinning and words/Source match.
