Achievement 3: Content Etiquette by huzaifafarooq16
Hello Steemians,
Now going on to my achievement 3,
What is plagiarism?
The simple definition of plagiarism includes copying another writer’s thoughts, ideas and writing material and them turning it to your own and publishing it. By going deep, we can understand that plagiarism refers cheating someone’s work, publishing it and claiming it as your own work. It is a crime and a rule which is followed by all of the content creators. As by seeing this image you can get an idea for plagiarism. If plagiarized text is copied, a person may be fined or banned from the website if his text seems plagiarized.
Types of plagiarism?
There are many types of plagiarism, the common 3 types includes:
1.Global plagiarism
-it means directly copying all the work and making it as your own.
2.Verbatim plagiarism:
-It also means directly copying someone else work and is same as global plagiarism but in this type some of the work is altered
3.Paraphrasing plagiarism:
- This type of plagiarism refers to rephrasing ideas. It means that copying idea of another person and then writing it down in your own words
How To avoid Plagiarism?
1.Cite your source
If you are referring to an idea or words that do not belong to you, add an excerpt to your writing that identifies the full source name, date of publication, and any other quotation that the style guide adheres to.
2.Include quotations
When you include source words in your writing, word for word, one of the simplest and most obvious ways to avoid cheating is to use quotation marks to show that the words are not your own. A direct quote should also quote the source so that readers know who this quote is coming from.
3.Paraphrase
Summarizing is rewriting the ideas or information of the source into your own words, without changing the meaning. But be careful — summarizing words can get in the way of cheating if done wrong. Successfully defining words without cheating involves little dance. Rename and format your writing in the original way, then try to avoid using too many similar words or phrases from the source. It is important to do so without changing the meaning of the concept itself. Remember, you are still using someone else's opinion so you will need to add text to the source.
- Use plagiarism checker
While doing research on a topic, some phrases or phrases may be so attached to you that you incorrectly insert them into your writing without quoting. If in doubt, using an online cheat testing tool can help you resolve these issues before submitting your work. There are several cheating tests on the internet, such as the one provided by Small SEO Tools. Grammar also provides a cheat tester that scans your text to get free borrowed content. These tools let you know whether parts of your text are copied or not — and some even highlight specific words or phrases that are disturbing and indicate where the text is coming from. These suggestions can help you to avoid copying from your work and are worth the effort. In addition to knowing more about what it means to cheat, discovering how to avoid cheating eventually takes a daily practice.
