Achievement 3 by @hash96 Task: Content Etiquette

Hello everyone ! 🤗This is my achievement 3 post about plagiarism.

What is plagiarism ?

According to wikipedia,

Plagiarism is the representation of another
author's language, thoughts, ideas, or
expressions as one's own original work.source*

Also plagiarism can simply define as coping someone's work or idea and passing them as your own without mentioning or without giving credits to the original post.I think plagiarism is a kind of theft and it would be unfair to the original owner.

If you want to use an author's exact words you can put original source in quotation marks and include an in-text citation.when you are posting in steemit you can mention source link.[copied text [source ] (link)] type without space ]

Eg :-
A "citation" is the way you tell your readers that certain material in your work came from another source.Giving credit to the original author by citing sources is the only way to use other people's work without plagiarizing.source

Plagiarism has various forms.I will describe common forms among those.

Direct plagiarism - directly copy and paste a source without mention the author.

mosaic plagiarism - it is copy phrases and ideas from different sources and put them together and create as a new text.

Self plagiarism -Reusing passages and ideas from your own previously submitted work.

Global plagiarism -Presenting an entire text by someone else as your own work.

How to avoid plagiarism

✓ Try to use your own ideas and opinions.
✓ Cite your sources properly.
✓ Use quotation mark (" ") for others words.
✓ Try to use your own images and words.

Steemit platform is not allowed to plagiarism.This is a nice platform to share our knowledge ,experience and ideas. So, try to share your own things.Be creative.Don't steal other's things.

I have read and understood the Steemit Etiquette on Steemit Community and will do my best to embrace them.
