Achievement 3 by @chababy Task : Content Etiquette
This is my achievement 3 post to meet the requirements by @cryptokannon, I am currently enjoying the journey and it is worth it
What is Plagiarism
Plagiarism is the act of using another person's work to justify a glory you didn't earn either by copying or by borrowing of words, ideas or even images without giving credit to the original author, it's all a disguise of the same sin
Types of plagiarism
There are many types of plagiarism but I will mention just a few as the spirit leads
Direct plagiarism
This is when a writer copies word for word , verbatim without even changing a thing, copies like a copy cat without use of quotation marksInaccurate authorization
This is when one gets credit for a work he didn't contribute to, more like reaping where he didn't sowAccidental plagiarism
This is common with students, when they copy without knowing the offense of plagiarism but as we all know, ignorance is not an excuse and they will still be punishedparaphrasing plagiarism
It's a type of plagiarism very common with those who are good in English, where they paraphrase the author and take the creditSource base plagiarism
This is the type of plagiarism in which the auto didn't cite his work correctly either given wrong credit to the wrong work
How to avoid plagiarism
- Avoid copying works from people, try to be original
- Do your best to put quotation marks where necessary
- Always give an accurate citation
That brings us to understanding what citation is about
What is citation
Citation is a form of praise gotten or giving from accurate quotation or reference from the accurate source, more like an opposite of plagiarism
Example
Never cheat on someone that is good to you. Karma is a bitch.

It was an interesting topic for me and I hope we all learnt a lot both passively and actively
