Steemit Achievement by @sharonerhu0404 Task : Content Etiquette

This is my third post in the achievement program: What is Plagiarism

Plagiarism can be regarded as stealing one’s knowledge by claiming the knowledge produced by my own without mentioning the source of the knowledge. This is a disrespect to the content creators, but sometimes our own ideas come from these content creators and we would like to use them to further elaborate our ideas during content creation. That’s why citation is important to avoid plagiarism when you want to mention the ideas are from the content creators without disrespecting them. In the following I will present the citation method of the sayings and the photos of the content creators.

After I read the article in this community, I sum up the types of plagiarism in the following:

1. A work is full of citations without any content produced by you

2. No quotation marks and citations are added in a short portion of cited resources

3. Just copy other's ideas without giving credit to others in your own writing

4. Regard others' work, words and ideas as your own work upon your work submission

5. Just rephrase the words from different sources and link them together with text to get the complete idea

6. A portion of words without any citation and credit is contained in the combination of the completely cited sources

7. No quotation marks are given to the direct quote

8. The information(source) in the quotation is false

9. No citation is given while paraphrasing the source

10. No credit is given to the others when the others' words are changed but the sentence structure is unchanged

11. Too many words in the original writing are used during paraphrasing

Citation of the content from the content creators:

Let’s take this Shakespeare’s well known soliloquy as an example:

“To be, or not to be, that is the question”^source

This is the first phrase written in the main character’s speech of Shakespeare’s well known drama “The Hamlet”. I quote it from the poet foundation website which can be accessible via the link beside this phrase and I use the quotation marks and the blockquote tag to show that it is not my idea.

Citation of the photo from a website:

Let’s take a photo from the Shutterstock website as an example:

Image Source

I cite this image with the link of the image source above using blockquote tag as well.

Last but not least:

“I have read and understood the Steemit Etiquette on Steemit Community and will do my best to embrace them.”

Thank you!
