Achievement 3: content etiquette on steem by anabelle02

Greetings to you dear steemians.is my pleasure to be here once again and today i will be writing my achievement 3,and as i have learned the third achievement is all about plagiarism.so am going to explain my understanding on the topic plagiarism.

What is plagiarism.

It simply means copying words or ideas from a other person.In steemit i have learned that is unacceptable.Which mean that i as a steemian should not copy word from my follow steemian.I should only write my own words or idea because steemit support prove of brain.(pob).

Types of plagiarism

• Accidental

• Self

• Complete

• Direct

• Accidental plagiarism:is plagiarism by mistake.which means someone writes another person word or idea.

• Self plagiarism: it means to repeats something have post before.

• Complete plagiarism:it means taking someone word as your own.for example i saw a post in steemit i copy it and post it in my own blog, that is complete plagiarism.

• Direct plagiarism:it is similar to complete plagiarism the difference is for example direct plagiarism is picking some words from a post.

Plagiarism is not to be practiced in steemit. Even if we want to copy something from someone or a white we have to include the source, and that is called citation.

What is citation

Citation is the act of copying someone's words and including the source of the information.
Sometimes it can be necessary for us to quote someone's words wo we have to know how to cite properly. Below is an example of citation:
