Hy Friend

I wish you well in your endeavours. @sngoenyi has verified my Achievement2, which makes me really happy. I hope that all of the volunteers from the newcomer community would verify achievement3, and I appreciate their work. Thank you so much for your help and advise, @cryptokannon; I really appreciate it.

The topic of ACHIEVEMENT3 is plagiarism. Which is quite important to us.

Plagiarism

Plagiarism occurs when someone takes credit for the work of someone else. Plagiarism can take the shape of data, images, movies, or a variety of other things, with no attempt to acknowledge the original producers. The objective of plagiarism is to make it appear as if the plagiarist created the work themselves.

Types of Plagiarism:

  • Direct Plagiarism
  • Mosaic Plagiarism
  • Accidental plagiarism
  • Self-plagiarism

Direct Plagiarism:

It is the deliberate act of copying another person's work without making any changes or differences. Because it is similar to stealing, it is also penalised by law.

Mosaic Plagiarism:

Plagiarism in the Mosaic style. Mosaic Plagiarism happens when a student borrows phrases from a source without quoting it, or finds synonyms for the author's language while maintaining the original's general structure and meaning.

Accidental Plagiarism

It occurs when you make the error of failing to cite your source, as the term implies. And, despite the fact that it is inadvertent, it is illegal.

Self-Plagiarism:

It is termed self-plagiarism when a student reuses his or her own work without the consent of the professor. where you would either upload your past work in its entirety or sections of it. Plagiarism is plagiarism no matter which way you look at it, and it's as deadly.

What Is a Source Citation and How Do I Cite It?

It is not enough to just say "text source is Wikipedia." It's necessary to include a link to the precise Wikipedia page where the content comes from. If you used a lot of sources, it's a good idea to put the source after each thought.

Every sentence copied and pasted should be enclosed in quotes “” or formatted with the > markup.

Every paraphrased paragraph, sentence, or idea should be accompanied by a reference that is as similar to its source as possible.

A citation example

"Researchers have long been aware of the potential for apple eating to sustain balanced populations of bacteria in our lower digestive tract," says one expert.

How can avoid plagiarism?

A excellent way to avoid plagiarism is to

  • Your vocabulary must be strong enough that you can write everything in your own words and include your own illustrations.
  • Always write unique content. These techniques will be more successful for personal posts and will protect them from copyright claims.
