ACHIEVEMENT 3:CONTENT ETIQUETTE by @drcrypto1
Welcome friends to my post. I'm @drcrypto1 and hopefully you all will be fine and will be enjoying your life by the grace of Almighty Allah. Friends, I'm here today for completing my achievement 3 in Newcomers' Community. In this achievement I have to write about "Content Etiquette". Let's start the topic without anymore waiting;
Content etiquette is way of writing content on steemit which is free of any type of plagiarism and give proper citation or source of copy write free images and links. Let's discuss about plagiarism and proper use of citation.
The using other's words, ideas or overall content as own without their's permission and acknowledgement. The person who used this plagiarism content is called plagiarist. Plagiarism is a bad action and it kills the credibility of writing the ideas of a person in a content. This action is strictly prohibited in this platform.
According to my knowledge there are four main types of plagiarism which are explained below;
** Direct plagiarism:
The type of plagiarism which involves the direct using of other person's content without his permission or acknowledgment. The plagiarist direct copy the any part of the content and use it in his content and shows that he write it by his ideas.
Self plagiarism:
In this type of plagiarism the content writer copy his own content which he wrote in past in his post and use that content in his present post.
Accidental plagiarism:
Plagiarism which happens accidentally mean a person write a content and upload it but the same content was written by anyone in the past and the 1st is unaware of it. This type of plagiarism is said accidental and there's should no strict actions be taken.
Paraphrased plagiarism:
The using of someone's content without proper citation is called paraphrased plagiarism.
How to avoid plagiarism:
To avoid plagiarism we should;
- use plagiarism detection tools.
- Proper use of citation (like citation of quotes, phrases etc).
- write content in your own words and ideas.
- Give link of copy write free images in source.
- If we are facing any trouble we should seek help from seniors.
The given of proper source or link of usin someone's quotes or phrases in our content is called citation. It's very important for giving credit of original writer of the content. Citation also helps readers to seek more things by clicking cited link in the content. Below are some examples of citation;
Be yourself; everyone else is already taken. source
The use of copyright free images;
In our content for making it beautiful we use images either self images or images from websites. For preventing plagiarism and any other inconvenience we shoulde use copyright free images like below is the image taken from copyright free image source.
There are many website from which we can use copyright free images like;

unplash.com
At the end of this post I acknowledged that I have read about content etiquette, plagiarism, types of plagiarism and the use of proper citation and I'm fully aware of these things, Thanks.
