ACHIEVEMENT3 by @samuelebuka TASK: CONTENT ETIQUETTE
A very Good morning to this very great family and great minds I am @samuelebuka and am glad to be here once more to perform the next achievement task which is 'CONTENT ETIQUETTE'. The main purpose of this content is to make individuals here on steemit become positive and creative thinkers and also to be resourceful and also make research and making contents from one's own point of view and not from another individual works or findings which generally is prohibited in an organisation without a clear citation of the author of such material or information.
I will like to define the term as the English dictionary would '"CONTENT ETIQUETTE"
Content etiquette can be defined as a laying of emphases which guides someone on how to post ideas, contents, materials and information on a platform in this case steemit.
Plagiarism in a common language can be described as the owning, claiming of an information or material that is not yours without the knowledge of the owner of such information. It can also be defined as practice of taking someone else's work or ideas and passing them off as one's own.
Plagiarism has been one pressing issues on the internet today and so they are different types of plagiarism which I discussed in best simple terms as I can.
1 - DIRECT PLAGIARISM. This is the situation where by a person copies and paste the entire information in a work as well as the various signs, resources and marks neglecting the acknowledgement of the main source.
2 - MOSAIC PLAGIARISM. In this case the source of the work may have been mentioned by the plagiarist but doing this without acknowledging the quoted part promptly and insert all the quotation marks correctly, then it is said to be plagiarism and also changing the location of the main source.
3 - SELF PLAGIARISM. This involves students in different schools who copy and paste information from their previously submitted academic work. Here the students directly copy same contents on different works without asking the tutor or teacher involved. this is tagged to be self plagiarism. It mostly occur amongst student of the same field of study.
4 - ACCIDENTAL PLAGIARISM. This is a situation of which the phrase or a part of the text of a content is copied from the source material or the act of which the plagiarist does not cite the source in a standardized form or a recognized order. This case is said to be an accidental plagiarism.
There are different ways and also effective ways to avoid plagiarism which is discussed below.
1- Direct citations of contents from the source should be noted.
2- stop receiving recognition and taking credits on contents that is not yours.
3 - A clear research is necessary to be carried out on information you are about to embark on to avoid plagiarism.
4 - make sure you use plagiarism check app to cross check your work so as to avoid plagiarism.
APA in-text citation style uses the author's last name and the year of publication, for example: (Field, 2005). For direct quotations, include the page number as well, for example: (Field, 2005, p. 14). For sources such as websites and e-books that have no page numbers, use a paragraph number.
