Today i am gonna share my achievement task 3 post and it is all about the rules for creating stuff on Steemit. You know like how every place has its own rules for everyone to get along
Well in Steem Territor, we got some too. And there is this important word "PLAGIARISM"
which is like a signal for anyone not following the rules.
WHAT DO I UNDERSTAND BY THE WORD PLAGIARISM ?
Taking someone else ideas, work or stuff without giving credit is what we call "Plagiarism".
Its like taking something that isnot yours and that is not a good thing because it can really harm someone reputation.
So whenever you use someone words, pictures or ideas and its important to give a shout out to where you got them. Its like saying "Hey I got this from here" and its just the right thing to do.
WHAT IS CITATION ?
Citation is like the total opposite of plagiarism. When you cite something so youare basically giving credit to where you found your information or quote.
Its like saying "I got this cool idea or words from here" Putting a link to the source is really important
Its like showing others exactly where you found the good stuff. Its not just about being fair but its about saying thanks to the folks who shared the knowledge.
