Achievement 3 by @harshita12 Task : Content Etiquette
What is Plagiarism?
In Simple words, Plagiarism is like taking food from someone's plate without asking or thanking him. Or , plagiarism is like taking money from your mother's wallet without letting her know.
Are these acts right ?
Absolutely not !
Same is Plagiarism. It is an illegal act of using someone else's content, text, images, words , without giving credits to that person and indirectly presenting is as a original piece of work .
Let me now give a proper definition of Plagiarism along with illustrating citation method.
Plagiarism can be defined as ,"the representation of another author's language, thoughts, ideas, or expressions as one's own original work."Source
Here the definition has been copy pasted from its source without any alterations and is thus in quotes
"the representation of another author's language, thoughts, ideas, or expressions as one's own original work."Source
Types of plagiarism
Direct Plagiarism - An act is said to be direct Plagiarism when you use a source data word-to-word , without making any sort of changes , and claim it to be your work.
Mosaic Plagiarism- "when a student borrows phrases from a source without using quotation marks"source
Accidental Plagiarism- it occurs when the writer is not willingly doing plagiarism but he fails to follow the proper citation method, thus, his content comes under the bracket of plagiarism.
Self-plagiarism - it means copying your own work from the past and using it again.
Etiquettes of using someone's content is
- To put copied text in double quotes
- To put links to photos and texts directly copy pasted without alterations
- To not to mix contents from multiple sources and presenting it to be your own
- To give credits to the original maker of a content
