Many of us here has repeatedly come across this word "plagiarism" both online and offline. Actually it is the act of copying someone's work without a credit/citation. Some tried to justify it while others believe it is a copied work.
Plagiarism is the representation of another author's language, thoughts, ideas, or expressions as one's own source
From the above definition, we've actually seen that it is the act of copying another person's thought, ideas and expression as your own. It is advised that whenever you copy another person's work you have to cite/credit the person either by adding "quotes" >
formation
Adding Citations
A "citation" is the way you tell your readers that certain material in your work came from another source source
For instance I collected or copied the definition of citation and I cited the source to the very place where I copied it.
Every copy/pasted sentence must be in quotes “” or formatted using the >
markup. The reason is because it will prevent you from being accused of plagiarising.
If you actually want to add some images to your blog, sites like pixabay.com and pexels.com offers free to use images. But please remember to add the link source of the image to your post
