Every organization have code of conducts or ethics that is meant to the guide the people in other to birth proper orderliness and good conduct.
STEEM is not left out in other to guide steemians on the “ dos and donts ” on this platform.
What can steemians post on STEEM?
Steemians are expected to post “ original contents ” of whatever they want, as long as the post is “original” and ”legal” not a “copy and paste” content you can post them on STEEM.
The posts might be relating to health, sports, lifestyle, economy, movies, music politics, etc.
“PROOF-OF Brain” Concept
STEEM provides a blockchain that enables steemians earn a digital token as a result of the original and legal posts they made with their brains. Steemians should also note that it is necessary to give citation or source of your contents will include other people's work.
Why must steemians cite other sources?
To prove that your posts have a certain level of a quality content you are expected to cite your source.
Plagiarism is a criminal offense!
Copying and pasting other people's work is an act of fraud!
Plagiarism is using someone or an author content such as language, expressions, etc as ones own original work.
How can a citation be written?
Citation is the way you tell your readers that certain statements came from another source.
Citing doesn't make your work less original rather it helps your readers distinguish between your ideas and your source. Citing can be done whenever you use a quote, when you paraphrase and when making comparisons.
Examples of Citing
While making or using a quote
E.g “Technological advancement in this twenty first century should not be taken for granted” (write down your source here)
While paraphrasing
E.g Sound health encourages day to day human productivity (source)
Citing adds value and quality to your posts and readers. It enables your readers to gain more knowledge through your source.
Finally, Say NO TO PLAGIARISM! it is a criminal act and punishable offence.
