PLAGIARISM

plagiarism occurs when one copies another person's ideas, text or creative work, and presents it as his or her own, especially without permission.

These are some instances of plagiarism:

Copy and paste a text from books or the internet into the body of an assignment.

Quoting a source without including a citation.

Not paraphrasing a source properly, that is maintaining wording too close to the original.

Taking texts from many sources and putting them together, and turning the work to your own.

Types of Plagiarism

1 . Direct plagiarism
2 . Self plagiarism
3 . Complete plagiarism
4 . Accidental plagiarism

Direct plagiarism

Direct plagiarism: this is copying someone's work word-for-word without attribution or quotation mark.

Self plagiarism

Self plagiarism: this occurs when someone post his or her own work which has been posted already without reference

Complete plagiarism

Complete plagiarism: is when someone copied entire work of someone's content without citing references

Accidental plagiarism

Accidental plagiarism: Accidental plagiarism occurs when someone unintentionally posts his or her content which is similar to someone's content without reference.

Citation

Citation is an entry in a list of source(s) from which one took information, words or literary or verbal context. In other words is the way of telling the reader that certain materials in your work came from another source . It gives the reader the information necessary to find the location details of that source on the reference Cited. Example

Illness which results from eating of food or drinking of contaminated beverages affects about 1 in 6 people in the United States of America in each year. Everyone can fall victim to food poisoning but infants, young children, the elderly, and those with compromised immune systems or chronic illness are at the highest risk

HOW TO AVOID PLAGIARISM

  • Make your own content by using your own words

  • By using a plagiarism checker to check your work if you have not plagiarized other people's work inadvertently.

  • Give proper reference to all content that does not belong to us .

It is my hope that we team up to fight against plagiarism. Plagiarism is never good , let's end it.

I have read and understood the etiquette on steemit community and I will do my best to adhere to them

Thank you for your attention

Hi @prof2 I hope you are well, after reviewing your achievement 3 i must inform you that this does not meet the requirements established for validation according to the Newcomers' Community.

Do not forget at the end of the post to put the sentence at the end:

"I have read and understood the steemit etiquette on steemit community and also will do my very best to embrace them."

“You must use one of the citation examples described in the explanation of achievement 3, For this you must make a post of no less than 200 words of your authorship about what plagiarism is and additionally include the aforementioned examples (they will not be counted within 200 words)”.

“All the content used that is not 100% of your authorship must be cited according to what is described in the protocol of achievement 3”.

Use the citations to identify the content that is not of your authorship, remember that the other part of the post must be of your authorship and not less than 200 words.

Make the corrections and I will come back to verify your achievement

Greetings
