Plagiarism

Plagiarism simply means stealing someone else's writing and carrying on in one's own name. New users make such mistakes without realizing it. We must always avoid plagiarism.

According to the Merriam-Webster online dictionary, to "plagiarize" means:

  • to steal and pass off (the ideas or words of another) as one's own
  • to use (another's production) without crediting the source
  • to commit literary theft
  • to present as new and original an idea or product derived from an existing source
    Source

It is not possible to say exactly what kind of plagiarism. However, it is of different types. The following are some of the types of plagiarism:

Self-Plagiarism

One of the most common tasks. Many people publish their writing more than once. This is self-plagiarism.

Global Plagiarism

Completely copying one's writing is global plagiarism. If you need to use someone's writing somewhere, you have to use proper source.

Verbatim Plagiarism

Many people use article rewriters to do verbatim plagiarism. This is done by changing a written sentence, which is not a good thing at all.

Mosaic Plagiarism

This is to borrow text from different content and create new posts with no citations mosaic plagiarism.


How to avoid plagiarism

  • Creates posts from your own ideas without copying anyone's writing.
  • Always use plagiarism tools.
  • Before writing a post, you have to research it well online.
  • It is better not to post about something we know less about.

More precisely, a citation is an abbreviated alphanumeric expression embedded in the body of an intellectual work that denotes an entry in the bibliographic references section of the work for the purpose of acknowledging the relevance of the works of others to the topic of discussion at the spot where the citation appears.
