What is Plagiarism?

Plagiarism is claiming another person work your own.

Types of plagiarism

SELF PLAGIARISM

Self plagiarism is define as taking an old definition and use it as a new one, by doing that you are making a self plagiarism and that is not good.
Like example;
Doing my school days ,some people take an old explanation and use it like a new one in their exams. That how some people make self plagiarism.

Direct plagiarism is define as taking someone else work and use it like yours knowing to well that, that work you took is not yours but you directly take it as yours.

HOW TO AVOID PLAGIARISM

Here are some of the tips on how to avoid plagiarism;

PARAPHRASE

This is define as rewriting somebody own idea without changing the person meaning.

CITE YOUR SOURCE

When alluding to an idea in your writing that identifies the full name of the source, the date it was publishes .

CITATION

In my own understanding citation is the where of telling your reader or the person reading your text to tell him or her that the text you are writing is not yours.

For example

Accounding to the laws of gravity it says;
Anything that goes up must surely comes down.

HOW TO CITE A TEXT

FIRSTLY;
If you want to tell your reader that the text you are writing do not belong to you, you write the person name you copy the text from the author like you can write like according to the person name you copy the text from the source and then copy the link off the Text

Conclusion
