Plagiarism is the Copying of person's ideas, text without permission of the original owner and then present it as your own work without the permission and citation of the original author.

Types of plagiarism
There are are many types of plagiarism which I will try to explain them one by one.

(A) Direct Plagiarism
This is the Copying of someone's works words to words without quotation and citation of the original owner. This type of plagiarism can also be known as verbatim or in toto.

(B) Accidental Plagiarism
This type of plagiarism occurred when copying someone's works with oversight didn't cite the source, this can be either purposely or by mistake.

(C) Mosaic Plagiarism
This occurred when copying words from another author without using the quote sign. That is you didn't quote the author of the work you copied from.

(D) Self Plagiarism
This is the submission of work without referencing and citing the author.

Causes of plagiarism
(A) lack of study
Before going into writing, one should studied what he or she is going to write in order to abstain from plagiarism.

(B) Lack of understanding of what to write.
One shouldn't engaged in topic that he or she didn't have full understanding of the topics. Because lack of understanding of the topic can leads one to plagiarism.

Citation
This is a formal reference to a published or unpublished source that you gathered and obtained information from while writing your own work. It can be a single author,group of authors or a journal.

Citation carries the surname of the author and date. For example, @whitestallion, 2021. This means that, the author is @whitestallion and 2021 is the year of publication.

Another example of citation is when you obtained information from a book that has two authors, the surnames of the two authors should be cited, example @whitestallion and @xkool24, 2021.

If the authors are more than two, it should be cited with the surname of the first author with et al., then year of publication. Example: @whitestallion et al.,2021. This show that the consulted materials has more than two authors.

Where and how to cite a work

Citation should be fixed at the end of the word copy from the material consulted or borrowing information from with the name of the author and year of publication in a bracket.

Example,
Hi @happyumo, your achievement 2 task has been successfully verified. You may now proceed to the next achievement task in the series(@xkool24, 2021).

Also, it can be fixed before beginning the statement of the author.

Example,

According to @xkool24 2021, Hi @happyumo, your achievement 2 task has been successfully verified. You may now proceed to the next achievement task in the series.

I have read and understand the steemit etiquette and I will follow it.
