Hello Steemians,

Source

I am really impressed with the way this #newcomers community is growing everyday, With my observations, I think this community is the best and equally the primary community in this platform.

Special thanks to the admin and moderators of this community (@bright-obias and @cryptokannon), I really appreciate your hardworks.

Gradually, am in my achievement 3, which is all about my Plagiarism in steemit. And so far I have seen what is needed and what is not needed in this platform.

Let me start by telling you what Plagiarism is. And my first question is👇👇
What is plagiarism?

This is the act of copying another man's work, ideas, creativity and presenting it as your own especially without being permitted by them or without citing the source.

Which means anything that is not yours in this platform or anywhere else, you should try very hard to cite it's source and avoid plagiarism.

There are various types of plagiarism, which includes:

• Self Plagiarism:
  Yes we equally have what is called self plagiarism, where you would submit exactly your previous work or include some parts of your previous post. No matter the angle you look at it from, it will still be plagiarism and it's equally really dangerous.

• Unintentional or Accidental Plagiarism:
  Unintentional Plagiarism as the name implies, is done by mistake of neglecting to cite your source. And it is punishable by law despite the fact that it is unintentional.

• Mosaic Plagiarism:
  In the Mosaic form of plagiarism, You copy phrases from the source without using quotation marks. It is really very dangerous, because it is punishable by law.

• Direct Plagiarism:
  This is a deliberately act of copying some elses works without any form of Changes or difference. And it is equally punishable by law, because it's like an act of stealing.

Conclusion
I have read and understood the Steemit Etiquette on Steemit Community which is to avoid plagiarism, because it could be very dangerous to this platform and I will do my best to embrace them.

Thank You All.......
