Achievement 3 by @Yormie Task: Content Etiquette

Greetings steemians, I am excited to have my achievement 2 post verified. In this achievement 3, I will be showing my understanding of the content Etiquette on steemit.

Vast knowledge, thoughts, ideas, articles, journals, videos and images already exist in our modern day, and to be factual, writing some articles, conducting researches, creating contents to an extent does not require a writer to reinvent the wheels. Therefore Content creators, writers, researchers sometimes build on already existing ideas, expressions or resources that are available online or offline. This is a wonderful and acceptable idea if done properly. This brings me to the topical issue plagiarism.

WHAT IS PLAGIARISM?

Plagiarism to my own definition is presenting someone else's work or ideas as your own, with or without their consent, by incorporating it into your work without full acknowledgement. All published and unpublished material, whether in manuscript, printed or electronic form.

The act of copying the content of other people and presenting it to be yours. It is a serious issue and requires extreme attention. When you do not write the content but copy the content of others, then it is plagiarism. It is also known as theft which is an immoral activity. The plagiarism detection exposes the truth of the content within seconds.

TYPES OF PLAGIARISM AND HOW TO RECOGNISE THEM

All types of plagiarism involve using someone else’s words or ideas without proper citation. That can mean copying a whole text, copying just a snippet, or rephrasing an idea.

These are the 5 most common types of plagiarism:

(1) Global plagiarism ; means plagiarizing an entire text by someone else.

(2) Verbatim plagiarism ; means directly copying someone else’s words.

(3) Paraphrasing plagiarism ; means rephrasing someone else’s ideas.

(4) Patchwork plagiarism ; means plagiarizing parts of different sources and stitching them together into a new work.

(5) Self-plagiarism ; means recycling your own previous work. https://www.scribbr.com/plagiarism/types-of-plagiarism/#:~:text=The%20most%20common%20types%20of%20plagiarism%20are%3A%20,%20%20Serious%20%202%20more%20rows%20

Plagiarism is a serious form of academic dishonesty. You can also commit plagiarism accidentally if you fail to cite your sources correctly. https://www.scribbr.com/plagiarism/types-of-plagiarism/#:~:text=The%20most%20common%20types%20of%20plagiarism%20are%3A%20,%20%20Serious%20%202%20more%20rows%20

My recommendation to avoid the above scenario in the picture above is that Writers should study to understand what they want to work on, avoid laziness, procrastination, and make proper citation when referencing or borrowing ideas from other authors.

I have read and understood the Steemit Etiquette on Steemit Community and will do my best to embrace them.
