Achievement 3 by @ifylove Task: Content Etiquette

Hello Steemians!!!
I am excited to be carrying out my achievement 3 task. Well,joining this wonderful platform has been interesting and educating. I get to learn,unlearn and relearn new things with each day that goes by.
The article recommended by @cryptokannon titled "COMPLETE STEEMIT ETIQUETTE GUIDE(REVISION 2.O)-HOMAGE,"has given me a better understanding on the rules and regulations of the steem community etiquette.

My task is about PLAGIARISM.NOW WHAT IS PLAGARISM?

Source
According to research conducted by Oxford University,"plagiarism is presenting someone else's work or ideas as your own,with or without their consent,by incorporating it onto your work without full acknowledgement. All published and unpublished material,whether in manuscript,printed or electronic form is covered under this definition. Plagiarism may be intentions or reckless or unintentional. Under the regulations for examinations,intentional or reckless plagiarism is a disciplinary offence."

TYPES OF PLAGIARISM

1. "GLOBAL PLAGIARISM
   Global plagiarism means taking an entire work by someone else and passing it off as your own. If you get someone else to write an essay or assignment for you, or if you find a text online and submit it as your own work, you are committing plagiarism. Because it involves deliberately and directly lying about the authorship of a work, this is one of the most serious types of plagiarism, and it can have severe consequences.
2. PARAPHRASING PLAGIARISM
   Paraphrasing means rephrasing a piece of text in your own words. Paraphrasing without citation is the most common type of plagiarism. Paraphrasing itself is not plagiarism so long as you properly cite your sources. However, paraphrasing becomes plagiarism when you read a source and then rewrite its key points as if they were your own ideas. Additionally, if you translate a piece of text from another language, you need correctly cite the original source. A translation without a source is still plagiarism, as you’re using someone else’s ideas.
3. VERBATIM PLAGIARISM (COPY AND PASTE)
   You commit verbatim plagiarism when you directly copy text from a source and paste it into your own document without attribution. If the structure and the majority of the words are the same as in the original, then it is verbatim plagiarism, even if you delete or change a couple of words here and there. If you want to use an author’s exact words, you need to quote the original source by putting the copied text in quotation marks and including an in-text citation.
4. MOSAIC PLAGIARISM (PATCHWORK PLAGIARISM)
   Mosaic plagiarism (also known as patchwork plagiarism or incremental plagiarism) means copying phrases, passages and ideas from different sources and putting them together to create a new text. This includes slightly rephrasing passages while keeping many of the same words and structure as the original. This type of plagiarism requires a little more effort and is more insidious than just copying and pasting from a source.
5. CITING INCORRECTLY
   The key to avoiding plagiarism is citing your sources. You need to correctly format your citations according to the rules of the citation style you are following. If you don’t include all the necessary information or you put it in the wrong place, you could be committing plagiarism. Most styles require in-text citations plus a reference list or bibliography at the end of your paper, where you give full details of every source you cited."

HOW TO AVOID PLAGIARISM
Some of the ways by which one can avoid plagiarizing are:

1. Planning ahead and planning early.
2. By paraphrasing.
3. By quoting words.
4. By summarizing.
5. By citing your source correctly.

WHY SHOULD YOU AVOID PLAGIARISM?
You should avoid plagiarism it doesn't speakof you as an author. It compromises your integrity. Writers who plagiarize are considered not to be creative because they simply can't make out time to create their own ideas/contents. You plagiarizing other people work affects them as well because writers of the original articles won't be acknowledged.
Plagiarism is considered theft. So you should avoid it but if you must plagiarize,make sure to site your source so that the original writer(s) is/are acknowledged.
