What is plagiarism

image source
Many of us here has repeatedly come across this word "plagiarism" both online and offline. Actually it is the act of copying someone's work without a credit/citation. Some tried to justify it while others believe it is a copied work.

Plagiarism is the representation of another author's language, thoughts, ideas, or expressions as one's own ^source

From the above definition, we've actually seen that it is the act of copying another person's thought, ideas and expression as your own. It is advised that whenever you copy another person's work you have to cite/credit the person either by adding "quotes" > formation

Adding Citations

A "citation" is the way you tell your readers that certain material in your work came from another source ^source

For instance I collected or copied the definition of citation and I cited the source to the very place where I copied it.
Every copy/pasted sentence must be in quotes “” or formatted using the > markup. The reason is because it will prevent you from being accused of plagiarising.
