Hello fellow steemians, good morning to you'll. After a long period of rest and slack backs, I've finally decided to write my Achievement 3 which talks on content etiquette and plagiarism and how steemit reacts to it.

PLAGIARISM

source
Plagiarism is something we often do knowingly or unknowingly. Sometimes, we write without realizing that we've copied someone's work. This particular instance is termed plagiarism.
Plagiarism can be seen as an act of using someone's work without reference or proper reference.

This term plagiarism is prone in our educational system. This generation children who are blessed with a lot of technology finds it to difficult to do proper research, so the only thing is to go into the internet and copy someone's work. This act is called plagiarism.

TYPES OF PLAGIARISM

There are several types of plagiarism people often commit. The essential ones will be discussed below.

SELF PLAGIARISM

One of the frequent occuring type of plagiarism is self plagiarism. This occurs when an individual copies his previous work or works knowingly or unknowingly without referencing it.
It doesn't really matter if the work belong to you, as long as it's not what it's been used in the current work, it should be referenced.

COMPLETE PLAGIARISM

As the name goes, complete. This mean completely using someone's idea without reference. It's not nice to steal, and this act is regarded as stealing. So in other to avoid it, every copied work should be referenced.

ACCIDENTAL PLAGIARISM

Another type of plagiarism people often commit unknowingly is the accidental plagiarism. In this type of plagiarism, an author accidentally copies someone's work without realizing it. Sometimes, he feels what he's writing on his own is his real work without knowing someone has already used such writing before.
It's adviced to always check your work before posting to avoid accidental plagiarism.

PARAPHRASING PLAGIARISM

Some individuals knowingly paraphrase. Paraphrasing in other words can be seen as an act of changing someone's word to suit your interest. This changed words represent the same meaning as the other person's word. When this happens, it is called paraphrasing.

SOURCE BASED PLAGIARISM

This type of Plagiarism comes with mistake in correctly sourcing a copied work. In some instance, an author can get ideas from two sources but uses only one source. This type is called source based plagiarism.

CITATION

Citation can sometimes be called reference. It is said to occur when an author references or cites a copied text. Below is an example of what citation looks like.

A citation is a reference to a source. More precisely, a citation is an abbreviated alphanumeric expression embedded in the body of an intellectual work that denotes an entry in the bibliographic references section of the work for the purpose of acknowledging the relevance of the works of others to the topic of discussion at the spot where the citation appears.

STEEMIT AND PLAGIARISM

As we all know now, steemit is a social blogging decentralized application that doesn't permit some things like plagiarism, paraphrasing and spamming, so to survive in steemit, every user must stay away from them all. And if need be to use someone's work, it should be properly cited.

I've fully understood plagiarism and content etiquette in steemit, am promising to abide by it, thanks to you'll for reading through.
