Plagiarism is a the representation of another authors work as your work without their consent or without crediting the author.

Types of plagiarism.
There are different types of plagiarism, these are mention below;

Complete plagiarism is the most serious form of plagiarism. This occurs when an author takes the work of another author or researcher simply takes an original research work that someone else generated and submits it under his/her name. This occurs when a content creator takes the work of another content creator and putting it as your work . This type of plagiarism can be considered to be intellectual theft.

What are the causes of plagiarism?

Firstly Content creators who plagiarize mostly lack the skill to make their own quality content.
Authors spend a lot time and effort when making their content because they want the content to be of valuable when it goes out into the public.

Secondly, people who plagiarize want to steal an author’s content because it has made a lots of profit or name for that author.

When an author creates a content that has made lots of profit the one who steals it then realizes that content for him/her to make profit from it.

Avoiding plagiarism

Firstly, when you use another author’s work you have to credit the author.
Secondly, always cite the source you have taken the content from.

Thirdly, use plagiarism checker before you submit.
This is the little tips I can say about plagiarism on steemit.
Remarks
I have read and understood the steemit etiquette on steemit community and I will do all my best possible to embrace them at the end of this task post.
