Hello to all of my friends and neighbors. I hope all is well with you. Today I'll talk about content etiquette as we examine plagiarism.

When you present someone else's words, ideas, or thinking as your own, you are committing plagiarism. Whether you directly copy someone else's writing without giving them credit or paraphrase their work without giving them credit, plagiarism is considered intellectual property theft and will not be tolerated. You will be held accountable if you attempt to pass off someone else's work as your own or plagiarize their work.

For instance, using a lot of a source's text without citing it

Types of plagiarism

Accidental plagiarism

Accidental plagiarism occurs when a person does not properly reference their sources, misquotes them, or accidentally paraphrases them by using similar terminology, word groupings, or sentence structures without giving proper credit.

Students must learn how to take precise notes during research projects and how to correctly reference their sources. Plagiarism cannot be pardoned. Accidental plagiarism is subject to the same scope of punishments as other instances of plagiarism and is punished with the same intensity.

Mosaic Plagiarism
Mosaic plagiarism is when a writer steals another person's ideas and adds a few modifications to make it seem original.

Direct infringement
Direct plagiarism is when a writer steals another's words without mentioning that the content originated from another source. This is the most severe kind of plagiarism, in my opinion.

Self-plagiarism
The act of copying one's own work and submitting it more than once constitutes this kind of plagiarism. This kind of plagiarism carries a lesser penalty because the owner will not sue himself.

Motives for Plagiarism

• Aspire to get good grades.
• Procrastination
• Laziness
• Academic incompetence

How To Prevent Copying On Steemit

• Please use a plagiarism detector before submitting.
• Add quotation marks
• Reference your work

Citation
A citation is a reference that informs the reader of the additional sources that the author used to develop the idea under review. Citations support scholarly arguments by serving as evidence, clarification, and organization.

Viewers are therefore aware that you used ideas from several sources to create your content.

Citation types

Citations can be divided into three categories. These are American Psychological Association, Chicago, and Modern Language Association.

Pollution is the introduction of harmful materials into the environment. These harmful materials are called pollutants. Pollutants can be natural, such as volcanic ash. They can also be created by human activity, such as trash or runoff produced by factories. Pollutants damage the quality of air, water, and land.
