Greetings to all steemities.. With gods grace and your help i successfully completed my 1st two achievement tasks and its time to move onto the 3rd task which is about plagiarism. So without wasting any time lets get going.

What is plagiarism?
In short and clear language it means stealing. It is generally defined as the appropriation of another person’s ideas, processes, results, or words without giving appropriate credit to the owner or creator of the content.

What are the different types of plagiarism?
There are many types of plagiarism. A few of them are listed below.
Self plagiarism- this generally means resubmitting or republishing your own previous work or content.
Direct plagiarism- this generally means stealing or copying someone else work without giving them their credit.
Accidental plagiarism- this generally means you are not at all aware of the content or work you are posting is already posted elsewhere. Its very common nowadays and happens mainly in social media sites.
Source plagiarism- this generally means when there are preparation of contents in which the person just write their name and then add the random references to the post.

How to avoid plagiarism?
Avoiding plagiarism becomes necessary for writers of all traits. As aforesaid, it is not only demoralizing but is ruinous to the career, too. A thorough workout through the concerned content will lead you to a good content free of plagiarism.
Text citations, paraphrasing, quotation marks, and Copyleaks plagiarism checkers are some of the techniques used to prevent plagiarism.
