What is Plagiarism?

Plagiarism is stealing,it is not good to steal another post and write it as if it is your own, whether we know it or by mistake,it is not good to do it.

Accidental plagiarism is when you did not cite the text properly, when you write what somebody had written before without giving credit to the person.

• How to avoid plagiarism

It is good to make research to have more understanding in what we want to write or do,we should also ask questions so that we can get help,read very well, work hard to be original, this will help us to avoid plagiarism.

Quote

quote it to say what a person said without mixing any word,then at the end you mention the person name

. “Live as if you were to die tomorrow. Learn as if you were to live forever.”

Citation

Citation is to mention the author and the link of the text so that it will be easy for a reader to make more research because citation helps a reader to know that part of your text is not your own

How to cite a text

Go to any browser you are using type the name of the person or the subject you want it will come up for you to read or to copy the image.

Finally:I have read and understand Steemit Etiquete on Steemit community,I will do my best to abide by the rules.
