What does plagiarism mean?

Ans-
Plagiarism is the act of stealing something from an author or source and claiming it as your own. This is a serious crime that should not be committed. When plagiarism is done, a very bad situation is created on the original creator. So be careful in making something of your own.

I have discussed some types of plagiarism below:

i. Direct Plagiarism.
ii. Paraphrasing Plagiarism.
ii. Self Plagiarism.
iv. Source based Plagiarism.

Now I am giving the explanation of them:

i) Direct Plagiarism:

When a word, idea etc. is collected from a source and used as one's own, it is called direct plagiarism.

ii) Paraphrasing Plagiarism:

Stealing an idea from another author and passing it off as original using a near exact wording and unknowingly copying something exactly.

iii) Self Plagiarism:

Self plagiarism is when someone else's idea is used as own and credit is given to own.

iv) Source based Plagiarism:

When a wrong or non-existent source is given as a reference, it is called source based plagiarism.

What is Citation?

Ans:
A citation is a way of telling readers that the text contained in the citation has been taken from somewhere else.

For example: "Watering the flowers in your backyard because you’ll see how much your plants grow" Source
