TYPES OF PLAGIARISM

Plagiarism can be done in four different ways and this four different ways are considered to be the different types of plagiarism and they are as follows.

• Direct plagiarism - In the case of the direct plagiarism, the plagiarist copies all the contents of an authors work without changing anything and brings it to another platform. here the plagiarist picks everything in the work of the main owner of that article and paste it in another platform it can also be in the same platform as the case may be. so the plagiarist do this neglecting to mention the rightful author of the work and when this is done, it is called direct plagiarism.

• Mosaic plagiarism - Mosaic plagiarism is said to be a scenario that occurs when the plagiarist may have mentioned the real owner of the article but neglecting the relevant quoted part in the work or not paying attention to insert the necessary quotation marks found in the original source and hence it is regarded as mosaic plagiarism.

• Self plagiarism - The self plagiarism can be seen as a scenario where a user is seen to copy his own article or content from a previous article that has been posted long ago and then bring it to post again in a particular platform, that is considered to be self plagiarism.

• Accidental plagiarism - The accidental plagiarism is seen as an activity where the plagiarist accidental copied a particular phrase or word or even line from another author's article. this is not an intentional activity, it happens especially when the both users are talking about a related topic. so that haven been said is also considered as plagiarism and that is why it is being called accidental plagiarism because it is not intentional.

But all the above plagiarism can be avoided when we adhere to the following ways in which we can all avoid plagiarism in the steemit platform.

It also describes the nature of the business, background information on the organization, the organization's financial projections, and the strategies it intends to implement to achieve the stated targets.
