Greetings my steemit friends. Today I present before you my achievement 3. This is a very important achievement, which leads us to become aware of what plagiarism is and that we must respect the contents, photos, as well as the videos of our friends on the platform. If we are going to use any information of another person, we must place the source of its respective author.

But what is plagiarism?

---

Plagiarism is the representation of another author's language, thoughts, ideas, or expressions as one's own original work. In educational contexts, there are differing definitions of plagiarism depending on the institution. Plagiarism is considered a violation of academic integrity and a breach of journalistic ethics.

For me, plagiarism is nothing more than taking the work that someone has done with their effort, time and dedication and presenting it as their own. Simply put, it's stealing someone else's ideas to pass them off as your own.

Plagiarism is the vilest thing a person can do. Taking some written material, or any type of work and passing it off as one's own without placing the source of its true author, demonstrates the little imagination and creativity of the person who incurs in it.

type of plagiarism

Mosaic or patchwork plagiarism

With this type of plagiarism, the work of someone else is simply paraphrased without proper citation. It’s often difficult to detect because the plagiarized material is interwoven with many different sources, including the writer’s own ideas and perspective.

Paraphrasing plagiarism

Paraphrasing, or incremental plagiarism, is the most common type of plagiarism. It’s similar to the mosaic plagiarism style mentioned above. However, the difference is that the copied work isn’t mixed in with new concepts and research. When you paraphrase the original idea in your own words, the borrowed material stays the same throughout the new piece.

Complete plagiarism

Complete plagiarism is more common in academic writing than in content marketing or other types of online writing. This type of plagiarism occurs when someone tries to submit an entire research paper as their own without proper attribution.

Self-plagiarism

Also known as auto-plagiarism, self-plagiarism happens when you copy your own writing, whether intentional or not. Often the person in a self-plagiarism incident is summarizing or repurposing their own work instead of writing a whole new piece from scratch on the same topic.

Accidental plagiarism

Plagiarism doesn’t always happen on purpose. It’s still considered plagiarism when someone copies another’s writing without citing their source, improperly cites the source or leaves out quotation marks on accident. Just because the omission or incorrect citation was accidental doesn’t mean plagiarism hasn’t been committed. This is why it’s important to check any work and when in doubt, give your source credit.

Direct or verbatim plagiarism

Direct plagiarism, also known as verbatim or copy-paste plagiarism, is an intentional and unethical form of stealing content. As the name suggests, the writing is stolen word for word and pasted into the new piece. The author then tries to pass off the content as their own. A word or two might be changed, but this type of plagiarism is too blatant to be considered paraphrasing.

We must be 100% authentic and original, there is nothing better than putting your mind and creativity to fly and make your own creations. It's more comforting to do something new and innovative.

So when you're going to take a text, sentence, picture, or video from someone else, be honest and place the quote from its author. I am committed to complying with the rules and guidelines of this platform and being 100% when publishing or creating my content.
