Hello Fellow steemians

I do like it a lot when I get my self in something doing on this community expercially trying to meet achievements of this sort it’s broadens a person knowledge on this platform.

What do you think Plagiarism is.??
Plagarism in my understanding is the act of making use of someone’s work without his or her permission.People all over the world does this and many which are as the result of ignorance, thus they don’t know what plagiarism is or what it covers and they think it only about making use of someone’s images only without their concern but it covers text and quotes too so be informed.

A PLAGIARIST

Who is a plagiarist.??
A plagiarist is a person that involves him or her self in plagiarism, this person makes use of the original craft as if he or she was the rightful author.

Now let’s move down to look at the types of Plagiarism..
There are many types of Plagiarism and these includes:

1. Complete Plagiarism
2. Direct Plagiarism
3. Auto plagiarism (self)
4. Accidental plagiarism
5. Paraphrasing Plagiarism
6. Inaccurate authorship
7. Mosaic plagiarism

•Complete Plagiarism
This is when a plagiarist takes the work completely (everything) from its source and presents it as his or hers. This is very bad though.

•Direct Plagiarism
This is when an author makes use of another others craft word to word without citation

•Auto Plagiarism(self)
This is when an author makes a duplicate of his or her own previous intellect.
Say, sentences, paragraphs, images or essays.

•Accidental plagiarism
In this case the author doesn’t have a greedy mind but it’s termed plagiarism because he forgets to cite a source or gives out a wrong quote to the sources that he has copied.

•Paraphrasing Plagiarism
This is when an author pick different words to have the information derived from the original source.

•Inaccurate Authorship
It occurs when an author forgets or fail to give all the necessary information in his source citation.

•Mosaic Plagiarism
This particular one is done by picking different ideas from different sources and usually difficult to identify.

This are some of the Causes Of Plagiarism.

1.procrastination
Most people use time meant for a particular work for another and keeps postponing it until they have little or no time to organise their work no more then they go to copy the work of others thinking of being at a safer side.

2.Fear To Fail
A lot of people have little or no confidence over their own work and intends stealing rather than doing their best.
There are many other causes but I just had to limit my self to these two.

Just as there are cause there are also ways to avoid Plagiarism.
These are;

• To avoid procrastination
• To always remember to cite the sources of any contents used.
• To have faith and believe in your own self

1.Avoid procrastination
To avoid this one must always have an effective schedule to every thing they do and make use of the say “Do the right Job at the right time”.

2.To always remember to cite the sources of any contents used.
Always make sure you acknowledge the source at to which your work is derived.

3.To have faith and believe in your own self
One but try to build confidence and be proud of what ever he or she creates
