Source

I welcome you to my Achievements 3 task which I will talk about plagiarism, types of plagiarism, how to avoid plagiarism, applying citation markdowns.

When talking about Plagiarism, what's your first thought? For me, it is an act that reduces stress from writing but in other way round it's a forbidden act.

Plagiarism is an activity that involves framing the work or ideas of others without giving credit to the original author from which you copied from. It is an act of using someone's work to create ours without informing the author. It's known as copyright. Plagiarism has become a stress free, easy and acceptable method of creating content. Many people are enthusiastic and reluctant to try something by themselves. Plagiarism means using pictures, phrases, quotes, write-ups and videos of people without giving reference or credit to the owners.

• Direct plagiarism
• Mosaic Plagiarism
• Phrase Plagiarism
• Self Plagiarism

• Self-plagiarism: These occurs when a content creator reuses or follows one pattern of writing, that's how he uses words or sentences repeatedly in his post from the ones published or he edits the post, he already published and create one for another community.

• Direct plagiarism: These is direct form of plagiarism where an author copies everything without changing any letter or word and then using it to publish content for themselves without even giving reference to the original author. It is an act of copy and paste. This is because an author has copied the text of other authors directly from the author's site.

• Phrase Plagiarism: This is the best known form of crime. This includes using someone else's work and applying it by editing words or sentences yourself. This is a serious and most common form of plagiarism as people edit words from people's write-up to create theirs.

• Mosaic Plagiarism: This type of plagiarism is when a writer borrows an author's work without putting a quotation mark or it is also a way of trying to modifying an author's work by using words that are nearest in meaning which the author actual work to come up with.
