Achievement 3 by @asibi Task : Content Etiquette.

Source

Hello guys,

I greet you all, today am going to take you through my achievement 3 task which is about content etiquette. One of the act that is totally unacceptable on the steemit platform is plagiarism.

What then is plagiarism?

Plagiarism in simple words is when one fails to acknowledge or give credit to a work in the form of a text or an image after using someone's work.

Types and forms of Plagiarism

Plagiarism is of many types and forms in the field of academia, but for the sake of this task, I will talk about about the most prevalent ones.

Complete plagiarism: This is when someone uses the entire work of another person without dully acknowledging the author.

Direct plagiarism: This is when words are picked verbatim from another person's work.

Paraphrasing plagiarism: This is when someone tries to mirror or spam another person's work or writings and used them as theirs.

Mosaic plagiarism: This is using someone text or phrase in your work without giving credit or acknowledgement.

How to avoid plagiarism

One can over come plagiarism by trying as much as possible to be original and authentic in writing. Citation and referencing a source is also another way to avoid plagiarism.

The markdown > or quotation "" is use when using a copy/paste sentence or phrase. One can also use the markdown template, [source](link of the work) just before the sentence or phrase, or at the bottom of an image.

Plagiarism is totally not acceptable and not tolerated on the steemit platform and should be totally avoided.

I have read and understood the Steemit Etiquette on Steemit Community and will do my best to embrace them.
