Achievement 3 by @reddileep Task : Content Etiquette

First of all, I consider it's a privilege to present this article to you. These days, it seems like a habit to dedicate my time to the steemit platform. Because, most of the time I spend my time here thinking of sharing a valuable content. The support of others has been a great help to me in this journey.

WHAT IS PLAGIARISM?

If we use someone else’s words, if we don’t give them proper credit. It basically defined as Plagiarism.
Practically, if we search and find something related to our article, then we try to modify it with few changes. It’s Plagiarism. Even if we completely copy someone's article or rewrite with some changes, both of these can be considered as plagiarism.

WHAT SHOULD WE DO?

To prevent the Plagiarism, we must use the citation method. Citation means, If we need to include someone's idea in our article, we can include a reference link near each sentence or idea. By that, we can pay tribute to the original author. Also, it will be a great help for everyone reading your article to know more about it.

I will explain it with some of examples

• 1 . If we need to include someone's pharagraph

If we want to prevent from plagiarism, we should use citation method. “A "citation" is the way you tell your readers that certain material in your work came from another source.” Source

• 2 . If we need to include someone’s image to clarify something, we can use the same method to do that.

MY ADVICE TO AVOID PLAGIARISM

• We can try to post articles related to our life and experience. Then we don't need the opinions of others.

• Only use other person's images if absolutely necessary. If not, we can explain anything by drawing a sketch on a piece of paper.

• Try to use screenshots to explain something clearly. Normally, I use screenshots and standard presentation applications to explain something .

• Don’t always be rush. Take as much time as you need and create a great content. Even if it takes days, there is no problem.

It's worth if we share our own content with this steemit platform. As I explained above, try to share contents related to your life and experience. Then, it will be valuable to all the people in the steemit. Also, we can prevent from plagiarism. We all work together to enhance the value of the steemit.
