Be Creative & Be Original | Avoid Plagiarism By Following These Rules

Greetings to all beautiful women from around the globe!

Steem Women's Club is a remarkable community, exclusively built for women by @svm038. We can freely share women/girly stuff here and get to engage with link minded people, all thanks to her. It's always exciting to share and talk about your hobbies or likes with people who are interested in those as well.

Steem Women's Club gives us the opportunity to be ourselves, to share our interests with other women. We can share recipes, makeup and skincare stuff, fashion and trends, hobbies and DIYs. These wide range of topics and that too practical don't raise the need of plagiarism.

I am sure, every women here knows or good at, atleast one of these aforementioned topics. It would be a shame if anyone still tries to copy or steal the content.

We support only original and unique content that belongs to you only. Plagiarism is theft. I hope no one wants to earn through wrong means by taking the credit of others efforts. Before stealing someone else's work, just think about your own work that you put a lot of hard work in. What if it gets stolen? How would you feel? Abused! Right? So avoid cheating at any cost because it may get you banned from this community as well.

To ensure that you know the basic ethics and etiquette of Steemit, we want you all to be atleast verified till achievement 3 by newcomers community. Achievement3-verified users will get preference over those who are not verified.

Check and complete these achievement tasks .

How to Avoid Plagiarism?

Besides creating content with your own mind, sometimes we have to attach picture from the Internet or when we are writing an informative post, we take help from Internet. In those situations, we have to do Citations.

For example, in the current contest, you are required to add benefits of ingredients of your drink. Now, certainly you didn't spot the benefits by yourself. You will have to google those. You just have to provide the links from where you get the information about benefits at the end of your posts. Also, if you have to copy exact sentence or a quote from somewhere, do use blockquote tag.

This will distinguish the copied text and others will know that these are not your words and you are not trying to steal them.

It's not a big deal, Right? It will make your post look professional and increase your credibility.

Secondly, when you take pictures from Internet, you have to give the credits. And find only those pictures which are licensed free for commercial use. Pixabay and unsplash are some of the sites with royalty free images.

I compiled a complete guide on how to do image and text citations. I request you all to please read it and follow it.

A simple guide to image and text citation

Do drop a comment under this post:

I have read this citation guide carefully and understood it and will implement it in my future posts.

If you have any queries regarding citation or you don't understand anything, you can always reach me at discord or telegram. Most preferably, do ask it in the Telegram Group for South Asian Women if you are from that region. The help is not restricted to South Asian women only, everyone is welcome.
