Plagiarism

Plagiarism I taking what does not belong to you and using it as yours without crediting the real owner in the domain of blogging and content creation. Thus as a writer, blogger and content creators, such an act should be avoided. There are various types of plagiarism. But I'll name 4.

2. Self Plagiarism

Self plagiarism is mostly common with students. For these students would copy and paste part of his/her previously submitted academic work or document. In this case, if the student submits two different course projects, without seeking the permission of the concerned lecturer, this is then considered as an act of self plagiarism.

3.Complete Plagiarism

This is the worst type of Plagiarism. It's case is just so terrible. This type is when the researcher, takes another man's work, in either book, paper or manuscript and changes only the name from the owners to his/her name and submits it. This one is known as actual theft and is very bad. So we all should avoid such.

4. Mosaic Plagiarism

In this case, mentioning the source of a content is not enough as one may mention the source of a content but failing to acknowledge the quoted part or forgetting to properly put it in quotation marks, is subject to plagiarism.
