plagiarism is a bad habits that many authors cultivate these days. plagiarism is a dishonest acts of lift another authors works and claim it to be yours without giving credit to the original author.
I believe plagiarism is an act that is frowned at by the steemit community that's why it part of the Achievement task that all newcomer must go through.
in the internet, I read that there are different types of plagiarism which I will give a short note on below.
Self Plagiarism
when an author takes lift some information from his old work to make another work, that's why it is called self plagiarism. it not a good practice though, but there is no grave punishment for this as it does not involve a third party.
Direct Plagiarism
with the name direct, you can possibly guess that this is when an author lifts another authors works for his work and didn't bother to make any modifications. the original author can sue you if he wants to.
Accidental Plagiarism
this is when an author lifts a work from another source without citing the source or when an author use words or illustration which appears in another authors work and he is unaware of it.
there are few ways to avoid plagiarism of which some are listed below
S/N | How To Avoid Plagiarism |

1. | always use a plagiarism checker to scan your work for any potential plagiarism |
2. | always cite your sources if they are not originally yours. |
3. | use your own words and style |
