Plagiarism means to steal the ideas or words of another person without giving them proper credit. Turning in some else's work as your own and copying the words without any changing are also in term of Plagiarism. And using of any images,videos or music without permission or without giving the source link of these. In other words Plagiarism is an act of fraud that is bad habit. It violate the policies of Steemit and receives down votes from steemit community.

Prevention of Plagiarism

Because plagiarism is very bad and dangerous for us on steemit so we prevent from plagiarism by considered some important things.

The sentence that is copy/pasted should be either in quotes “” or formated by using the > markup.

Example :

“When you have a dream, you’ve got to grab it and never let go.” ^source

The sentence that is copy/pasted in above example from its source without any changes and is thus in quotation marks :

“When you have a dream, you’ve got to grab it and never let go.” ^source

The second and very best way to avoid from plagiarism is that we should use our own ideas and words. And don't take the ideas or words from google or another social media platform.
The third and important thing is that if we use the ideas or words of another person we must to add a cite mean source link. Add a source link of copied words or image is known as Citation. It makes your post professional.
The fourth important thing that is very useful is that If we want to take some pictures from internet then we should use the copyright free images. Some of the websites that are recommend by steemit are given below.
