Plagiarism

Plagiarism means presenting someone else’s work as your own. In academic writing, plagiarizing involves using words, ideas, or information from a source without including a proper citation.
Plagiarism is a form of academic dishonesty. Whether you’re a student submitting a paper to a class or a researcher submitting to a journal, it’s expected that the work you submit is your own.
Plagiarism can have serious consequences for students and researchers, even when it’s done accidentally. To avoid plagiarism, it’s important to keep track of your sources and cite them correctly.

Mosaic Plagiarism

This is academic dishonesty and a punishable offence

Verbatim Plagiarism

Verbatim plagiarism means copying a text directly from the source without giving credit to the author or using quotation marks.

How to Avoid Plagiarism

In Steemit Plagiarism is highly prohibited, to avoid it do the following;

1. When adding phrase, sentence or image from a source, use a quotation and provide the source where your got your work by citing the source.

2. When expressing an idea or information from a source, paraphrase or summarize it entirely in your own words.

3. Present your own ideas or words, explore what you have to say about it. Think of what unique aspects or point you can contribute in your writing that’s entirely your own.
