Hello Wonderful Steemians.

I'm done with my Achievement 1 and 2 post which has thankfully been verified and this is my Achievement 3 post which centres on Content Etiquette.

Plagiarism is simply defined as the use of another author's ideas and works while making it seem like your own idea without the acknowledgement or consent of the original author. Plagiarism can lead to sanctions because it is considered a very wicked act.

Types Of Plagiarism

1. Global Plagiarism
   This involves using someone's work or buying another person's ideas or paper and pretending you are the original owner.

2. Copy-And-Paste Plagiarism
   As the name implies, this means copying a paragraph or passage from another author's work without acknowledging the author or quoting the source.

3. Self Plagiarism
   This may seem absurd but it does exist. It refers to when a person uses some part of their former work without citing it so that their audience would know.

4. Mosaic Plagiarism
   This means collecting/copying different parts of other people's work and pasting it together so as to deceive your audience into thinking your work is an entirely new work.

Ways To Avoid Plagiarism

1. Make use of what is called plagiarism checker: There are lots of online plagiarism checkers that will check your work for free.

2. Use quotation marks: You can use quotation marks in your works or around another person's words to show they aren't originally yours.

3. Use your very own ideas: There is nothing that would make you more proud than using your own ideas without plagiarizing other people's work.

4. Give credit to your source: When making use of another person's work you should give credit to the author by adding the full name of the author.

I've read and understood about content etiquette. I promise to do my very best by not plagiarizing other people's work.

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