Plagarism

Plagiarism is presenting someone else’s work or ideas as your own, with or without their consent, by incorporating it into your work without full acknowledgement. All published and unpublished material, whether in manuscript, printed or electronic form, is covered under this definition. Plagiarism may be intentional or reckless, or unintentional. Under the regulations for examinations, intentional or reckless plagiarism is a disciplinary offence.Source

On the internet, plagiarism is most frequently committed. People plagiarize other people's writing, images, articles, and other works. Because the owner is unaware and has not given permission, plagiarism is essentially theft. Like many other websites, Steemit has a strict policy against plagiarism. It goes without saying that doing so has repercussions.

Types of plagiarism

There are four different types of plagiarism. They are as follows:

1. Direct copying
   Direct plagiarism occurs when a writer uses someone else's words without mentioning that they were taken from another source. I believe that this is the most serious instance of plagiarism.
   For example:
   A website owner desires to include fresh content. He publishes items on his website under his name as the author rather than writing them himself by copying them from other websites.

2. Plagiarism in mosaic
   Mosaic plagiarism is when a writer steals another person's ideas and adds a few adjustments to make it seem original.
   For example:
   Even though the concepts, content, and/or organization are not unique, you find a paper that is comparable to your assignment and modify some of the terminology to make it seem different.

3. Personal plagiarism
   The act of copying one's own work and submitting it more than once constitutes this kind of plagiarism. This kind of plagiarism carries a lesser penalty because the owner will not sue himself.

4. Accidental plagiarism
   Accidental plagiarism occurs when someone exploits someone else's ideas without properly referencing the author.

Reasons why people plagiarize

They are completely unproductive.
Working long hours is necessary to produce a brilliant literary work. As a result, when they are out of ideas, many people choose to take some ideas from other well-known works to racking their own brains. However, those who plagiarize do not dispute that laziness is what drives them to do so.
The desire for success. People who are afraid of failing tend to mimic the work of others in an effort to improve their own performance.

Why is plagiarism inappropriate?

Three factors make plagiarism unethical:

• It is illegal in the first place since it is a sort of theft. You are violating someone else's intellectual assets when you use their words and ideas and claim them to be your own.
• Second, it is illegal because the person who copied the work went on to profit from the theft.
• Thirdly, a degree serves as proof of the knowledge and skills of its possessor. A student may pose a risk to others if they obtain job based on a credential they have not attained.

How to avoid plagiarism

• Citation
  Citation is the process of referring people to a source that you used in your writing. Readers are therefore aware that you used ideas from several sources to create your post.
