## PLAGIARISM ## In this world people don’t care about copying others with proper reference to the source which is very wrong. It’s a way of one misleading his/her reputation. No one will value a plagiarized content. Creating original content adds a very big value to your work and reputation. Plagiarism is the mimicking of someone’s content without a proper referencing to the source. ![88E208B4-76E3-4A1C-AC5A-4E1375B39189.jpeg](https://cdn.steemitimages.com/DQmavmNnEVZphrgkakQgxat8P6o4iJ1JKowbbDpYi4C88gs/88E208B4-76E3-4A1C-AC5A-4E1375B39189.jpeg)[image source](https://www.google.com/amp/s/andragogytheory.com/2016/01/18/criminal-justice-scholar-plagiarism-avoidance-strategies/amp/) ## TYPES OF PLAGIARISM _MOSIAC PLAGIARISM_ _DIRECT PLAGIARISM_ _ACCIDENTAL PLAGIARISM_ _SELF PLAGIARISM_ ### MOSIAC PLAGIARISM ### I refer to Mosiac plagiarism as a smart way of plagiarism. In this type of plagiarism, the person don’t copy exactly the person don’t copy exactly the words instead, he/she replace the words wit similar word that has the same meaning. ### DIRECT PLAGIARISM ### Here, the person copies exactly the words without referencing the source. As far as am concerned, this is the worst type of plagiarism. It’s a result of complete laziness. ### ACCIDENTAL PLAGIARISM ### This is an unintentional form of plagiarism. Someone forgetting to cite the source of his/her content or mistakenly cited a wrong source. ### SELF PLAGIARISM ### This is a type of plagiarism where one repeats his/her what he/she did before. It’s just like someone duplicating what he/she has published before. ## HOW TO SITE A SOURCE To site a source, firstly, you put “>” before the sentence or quote you want to cite. _You can see an example below_ > Marvel Studios' Eternals features an exciting new team of Super Heroes in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, ancient aliens who have been living on Earth in secret for thousands of years.
