ACHIEVEMENT 03 TASK BY @dilchamo: CONTENT ETIQUETTE

Hello steemians,

This is my detailed explanation about PLAGIARISM.

PLAGIARISM

source

Plagiarism is simply known as stealing of one’s ideas and thoughts without proper citations without securing the owner. When we want to search something we have used to browse the internet and find detailed information from different websites. If we copy and paste something written by another person it is known as plagiarism.

There are different types of plagiarism. One can copy the whole text from a single site and copy, paste it. Sometimes people copy different parts of the text from several sources and try to make a single document. When the same person copy and paste from his/her own early posted sources that is also plagiarism.

What should we do?

We have to use our own ideas when we write something. If we really need to obtain something from a different source we have to use the citations in order to mention the real owner. There is an advantage of citations as the readers can browse more details if they wish and also it shows the writers ’transparency. You can include citations for sentences, images or links.

What can we do to avoid Plagiarism

• The first thing is that we need to take time when creating post. When we thing deeply we get many ideas. Some times to create a best post it will take a whole day.

• When you want to demonstrate something you can use your own drawings or sketches but if really needed you can use images with proper citations. You can screenshots when you display something which you do.

• When selecting themes for posts it is better if you select themes related to your lifestyle and life experiences then originally there is no plagiarism if you use your own images and ideas into it.
