Hello my fellow steemit users, I hope you are all fine.
Today, I want to talk about content etiquette, and I have learnt that it is a very important etiquette in plagiarism.

HOW DO YOU UNDERSTAND THE WORD “PLAGIARISM”?
Plagiarism is an act of taking another person’s work or idea as your own without the consent or knowledge of the owner. It can be done intentional or unintentional.

TYPES OF PLAGIARISM
DIRECT PLAGIARISM: This is word-for-word copy of a section of someone else’s work or idea without acknowledgment or quotation marks.

ACCIDENTAL PLAGIARISM: This is when a person refused to mention their source of image or content. It is also when they use similar words, group of words and sentence structure without any acknowledgement.

MOSAIC PLAGIARISM: Occurs when a person borrows or copy a phrase from a source without using quotation marks, or discover synonyms for the writer’s words and keep to the same structure and definition of the original content.

SELF-PLAGIARISM: This is described as reusing a writer’s specific words from the previous published texts. It can also be called “duplicate publication”.
