Ever experienced the pain of effortfully working towards something only for someone else to get the accolades.
I have and i guess you also have, be it an article, idea ...no matter how small, there's no justification for plagiarism.

Plagiarism is presenting someone else's work or ideas as your own, with or without their consent by incorporating it into your work without full acknowledgement.
"can you relate"?

Plagiarism in itself may not be considered a crime but it's a serious ethical offense. It might be accidental or intentional but your exposure to this content would make any further act of plagiarism Intended.

To produce and share quality posts, it's sometimes inevitable to seek from other sources or references.

How then can we effectively do so without risk of infringement?

If it's not originally yours, never make it appear to seem so. So saying, whenever you decide to incorporate someone else's material, text, quote, image whatsoever into your posts endeavor to always indicate by linking out to the source. An appropriate example is cited below.

Source.

To provide an alternative text for image link, following the markdown styling guide. Input the alternative text in this format

[Alt text goes here]

Followed by the source link

(Link goes here)

So saying

[Source](https://justanexample.com

Close the link with a ) and you get this

Source

Html ahrefs format also work fine here.
For in-depth understand check out the markdown styling guide.
The next time you create an article/post be sure to always link out to sources, for texts use inverted commas or block quotes then indicate sources.

...use block quotes then indicate sources

OR

"Use Inverted commas then indicate sources

PS: sources cited above shouldn't necessarily be clicked, for example purposes only.

Hello @Koladammy!! Very interesting post and comments about plagiarism, you've covered the subject very well!! I suggest you to check some codes you have used and some you can use.

When you say this:

You need to write again all the code:

You also can use, the character > to create block quotes as the previous one. You can add some related quote with its source to complete the exercise!!
