What is plagiarism
Plagiarism is the act of taking someone work or article that dont belongs to you and them not aware of you using their articles,and you claiming to be the author.
We must be cautious while quoting and paraphrasing other people's work or articles. Making other people's ideas appear to be your own is illegal and its theft ,Let's not forget that plagiarism carries a penalty.
There are several types of plagiarism.
Verbatim plagiarism
It is called using a sentence or a text as its own sentences with the copy-paste method. In such articles, the part taken should be shown in quotation marks.
Direct plagiarism
copying word to word of another person work or ideas passing it as his/her own work without the use of attributes or referencing. This is just like a sample of complete plagiarism.
Paraphrasing plagiarism
is the most common type of plagiarism and this when someone makes just some minor changes to a sentence and use it as his or hers.
Self-plagiarism
we can call it republishing your own article, so it's kind of called being your own thief.
Incorrect citation
are those citation that are incorrect in the work.
How to stop plagiarism
It is advisable to write without copy-pasting, and if citations are to be made, the source must be specified and reference in the work. We need to avoid quoting verbatim and copying ourselves.
Conclusion
I have read and understood what plagiarism means and its advisable for a writer to belive in his or her self and post his work cause it help you delvelope your self and our environment,and be reminded plagiarism is theft so avoid doing it,once again compliments of the season everyone.
