Plagiarism!

Plagiarism is the stealing of another person’s work or ideas, it is the appropriation of another person’s ideas. It can occur intentionally and unintentionally and it is to present as new and original an idea or product derived from an existing source to steal and pass off the ideas or words of another as one's own and there they are some examples listed below.

Examples of plagiarism

• Submitting a full text that is not your own:

• Paraphrasing a source too closely:

• Including a direct quote without quotation marks

• Copying elements of different sources and pasting them into a new documents

• Leaving out an in-text citation.

How to avoid plagiarism!

Fortunately, it’s not all scary. Avoiding plagiarism is actually easy to do now that you have a foundational understanding of what it is to help you steer clear of this taboo, here’s how to avoid plagiarism in your writing.

1. Cite your source

When alluding to an idea or wording that’s not your own, add a citation in your writing that identifies the full name of the source, the date it was published, and any other citation element that’s required by the style guide you’re adhering to.

2. Include quotation

If you insert a source’s words into your writing, verbatim, one of the most simple yet obvious ways to avoid plagiarism is by using quotation marks around the text to denote that the words aren’t your own. A direct quote should also cite the source so that readers know who the quote is from.

3. Paraphrasing

Paraphrasing is rewriting a source’s ideas or information into your own words, without changing its meaning. But be careful—paraphrasing can slip into plagiarism if done incorrectly.

Successfully paraphrasing without plagiarizing involves a bit of a dance. Reword and format your writing in an original way, and try to avoid using too many similar words or phrases from the source. The key is to do so without altering the meaning of the idea itself. Remember, you’re still using another’s idea so you’ll need to include a citation to the source.

4. Present your own idea

Instead of parroting the source’s ideas or words, explore what you have to say about it. Ask yourself what unique perspective or point you can contribute in your writing that’s entirely your own. Keep in mind that if you’re alluding to a source’s ideas or words to frame your own point, you’ll still need to apply the guidelines above to avoid plagiarizing

5. Use a plagiarism checker

While conducting your research on a topic, some phrases or sentences might stick with you so well that you inadvertently include them in your writing without a citation. When in doubt, using an online plagiarism checking tool can help you catch these issues before submitting your work.

There are several plagiarism checkers online, such as the one offered by Small SEO Tools. Grammarly also offers a plagiarism checker that scans your text for borrowed content for free.
These suggestions can be helpful in avoiding plagiarism in your work and is worth the effort.
