[Achievement 3] - content etiquette by @sufficienti
Good day everyone. Today am going to post my achievement 3, it about plagiarism. i hope you enjoy it
What is Plagiarism?
plagiarism is the illicit copying of the text, ideas and expression of another author without mentioning the source or giving back some credit to the original author.
Types of Plagiarism
There are 4 important types of plagiarism which I have managed to explain on my post
Direct Plagiarism:
The indistinguishable copying of a text is a serious offense punishable by law if the original owner of the content decides to penalize you
Direct plagiarism is the identical lifting of words from another author and pasting it in his own work with out changing anything and still not give credit to the original author. Very unethical
Mosaic Plagiarism.
When an author borrows phrases or texts from a particular source material without using quotation marks or substitutes some of the words from the content without changing the original pattern the source.
Self-Plagiarism:
Self-plagiarism is where authors copy and paste part of their previously published work. This is not a serious criminal offense though as it does not involve another author. But is it not the best act to practice.
Accidental Plagiarism:
This is when a person fails to cite their sources, or unintentionally paraphrases a source by using identical words, groups of words, without making reference to the original owner
Avoid Plagiarism
• always cite your source when you lift a work of another author
• ensure you have a full and developed understanding before you take up a topic and write on it
Example of citation
