Hello Steemians. Hope you all are doing well. My name is MUHAMMAD USMAN and this is my achievement 3 post which is basically about Plagiarism.

What is Plagiarism?

Plagiarism means taking someone's work without his or her permission and copy paste that work without giving him credit. Plagiarism can be of anything like art, pictures, quotes etc.

Types of Plagiarism:

It is of four types which are as follows:

1. Copying.
2. Patchwork Plagiarism.
3. Paraphrasing plagiarism.
4. Accidental Plagiarism.

Copying:

It is most type of Plagiarism. In this, a person copy someone's work as it is, without changing a bit of it and without giving credits.

Patchwork Plagiarism:

In this Plagiarism, a person takes main arts, pics, videos, design or quotes of someone and merge them in his work without explaining them properly as the real owner does.

Paraphrasing Plagiarism:

Paraphrasing Plagiarism means taking someone's work, made a little bit change in it's main quotes or phrases and showing it as yours. Although the content remains as it is.

Accidental Plagiarism:

It occurs when you didn't want to take or ro copy someone's work but when you finished it, you find it a bit similar to others work.

HOW DO I AVOID PLAGIARISM:

In order to avoid plagiarism, the first thing I do is being honest with my work. Before making a post I do a complete homework on the topic which I'm going to write. If there's someone need of copying, then I mentioned the original source or owner of the content.

I have understood the Steemit Etiquette and try my best to avoid plagiarism.

Thank you for reading this.
