What is plagiarism? :

Plagiarism: definition

Plagiarism is the representation of another author's language, thoughts, ideas, or expressions as one's own original work. In educational contexts, there are differing definitions of plagiarism depending on the institution. Plagiarism is considered a violation of academic integrity and a breach of journalistic ethics. source

Now I will say it in my own words what I understood as plagiarism: as the text quotes, from above plagiarism is to steal the ideas of other people for our own benefit is to appropriate the intellectual property of other people by mere whim, money, or because we do not have an intellect to realize our own ideas and translate them, and in order not to commit plagiarism let's not forget to quote the author or the source as I did in the text above.

Types of plagiarism :

---

Self-plagiarism - when we present previous work to people without telling them that we have used this content before but we make it appear like something new

Mixed plagiarism - plagiarism based on different sources united in a single one is when the author steals information from different sources to do a job with them.

Accidental plagiarism - when the source or author is not cited correctly we can accidentally commit plagiarism

Complete plagiarism - plagiarism based on the complete or total copy of a third party content

Consequences of committing plagiarism ? :

---

One of the consequences is that, the original author does not take the credit he should for his content but those who copy his content, benefit at the expense of him.

Another consequence is that if we are caught on the spot committing plagiarism we will lose reputation we will be considered a liar and trickster and our credibility will go to the ground.

The consequence would be to go to jail for committing plagiarism the law can be very harsh and strict for people who commit plagiarism.

Example on how to put citation

India, officially the Republic of India, is a country in South Asia. It is the seventh-largest country by area, the second-most populous country, and the most populous democracy in the world. source

Solutions to avoid plagiarism :

---

Simply use our own ideas so as not to have to be imitating or copying others, another way is the one mentioned at the beginning mentioning the author and the sources, so we avoid plagiarism in our content, there are also multiple programs to detect and avoid plagiarism we can use one of them.
