Hello wonderful steemians it's good to write again after I completed my achievement 2. this achievement 3 talks about on content etiquette and playgarisom. I hope you all find my work interesting, educative, and informative.

Plagiarism can be defined or seened as an act of stealing someone's work, suggestions or fact and still claiming it's your own work. Plagiarism have been found in many countries like turkey, Japan, china, finland, iran, and so on and so forth.

In our educational system in this 21th century, plagiarism has taken charge of many student's life today, because they refuse to read and so they wait for their fellow students to read so they can copy their work without any references at all.

TYPES OF PLAGIARISM

There are different types of plagiarism known all over the world, but in the course of writing this my achievement, I'll explain the underlisted ones.

• Complete plagiarism
• self plagiarism
• Accident plagiarism
• Direct plagiarism

COMPLETE PLAGIARISM

This type of plagiarism occurs when somebody trys to collect another person's work and submit and claims to be his own work without him referencing the work to the owner of the work.

SELF PLAGIARISM

This kind of plagiarism happens when you copy your own work knowingly or unknowing. Many people may think self plagiarism is not toxic because you are not stealing the work from someone else and it is so not harmful but as long as an already created work is copied without referencing it, it is regarded as self plagiarism.
This type of plagiarism can also be called auto plagiarism.

ACCIDENT PLAGIARISM

This kind of plagiarism occurs when an author copies someone's work without knowing that he/she has done that, if it happens by mistake just have it in mind that he/she has done plagiarism and it will be taken into consideration too.

DIRECT PLAGIARISM

This type of plagiarism occurs when a researcher copies the work of different author in verbetim i.e word to word and claims it to be their own real work. it is also called copied plagiarism.

SOURCE BASED PLAGIARISM

Source simply means where something is gotten or colleted from or how it was acquired, that means this kind of plagiarism occurs when a writer has two different sources of ideas and left with just one reference.

OUTLINE ON
HOW TO AVOID PLAGIARISM IN STEEMIT

Firstly, STEEMIT is a platform that help you share and develop your ideas and reward you in the form of crypto currency.

CITATION

One of the best way to avoid plagiarism is by citation. Citation simply means the act of citing the original authors work. Supposing I took another author's work, and I must cite it either by providing the source or by referencing. To understand this clearly the example below will clarify us better.

As of the time of writing this post; Steem Price (STEEM) is $0.6172 and is Ranked #288, while the watchlist is at the range of 39,386 Circulating Supply of 392,110,231.55 STEEM, this data is based on the coinmarketcap steem statistics.

QUOTE

Quoting is another means to avoid plagiarism. It entails the act of quoting the original author's work and providing the source in most cases. For example;

The blockchain​ has since evolved into a separate concept, and thousands of blockchains have been created using similar cryptographic techniques. This history can make the nomenclature confusing. Blockchain sometimes refers to the original Bitcoin blockchain. At other times, it refers to blockchain technology in general, or to any other specific blockchain, such as the one that powers Ethereum​.

• avoid stealing someone work to add to your own work that's called plagiarism.

• always make use of the quotation marks and make sure you indicate where any word is coming out from that is not yours.

• in all it is very good to make your own ideas and make use of them properly.

SUMMARY

Plagiarism should be avoided in every countries in the whole world at large because its very toxic especially those in the educational sector if the person wants to be leaders of tomorrow or in the future.

I have read and understood the STEEMIT etiquettes on the STEEMIT community and I will try my best to adhere to them always.

Thank you for reading my achievement 3 I appreciate you all for your kindness.
