in #steemit6 years ago (edited)

Plagiarism is the theft of texts, ideas and decisions of other people, and their subsequent use for mercenary purposes by thieves.

Especially often the word "plagiarism" is used in the context of "copying" fragments of other authors without indicating the source or giving them credit. The word plagiarism in Latin means "kidnapping . " In some areas, such as trade or copyrights, plagiarism is a crime and those who live in steemit , we give great value to these publications of these users, although we can not control the theft of information, We do our best to only support 100% original content.

What is plagiarism?

Although for the concept of "plagiarism" today there are quite clear definitions, it still causes a lot of controversy. If we consider a scam in terms of literature, or even more specifically, of poetry, which is to borrow the work of another, publishing his or her part under his own name, without specifying the name of the author.

Some sources determine plagiarism as a violation of copyright "copyrigth" by the uncoordinated use of a work of art or a part of it. However, in this case, the definition of plagiarism is also imitated or borrowed: quite common phenomena, especially among young authors who are only developing their own style.

Even the use of the famous phrases captured in books to which they do not give credit to the authors.

Many experts argue that such indebtedness is not so much the appropriation of the text as a set of words arranged in a certain order, such as the use of the idea of ​​the product, its logic and its meaning. This approach to plagiarism in the literature is not completely justified either. It would be correct to say that the copyright assignment of the works is carried out only in the event that part of it is published under a false name, or the author has publicly is the work of another person as a result of his own job.

Of course, plagiarism is a negative phenomenon. Many compare this assignment with theft, and it can not be said that this analogy is not true. However, to judge plagiarism, you must clearly imagine what exactly corresponds to this category. If the author uses the work of another person or a part of it, takes the idea of ​​another poet and produces his own, trying to modify the source code in order to avoid the possible suspicion of true works that belong, their actions may be considered as an attempt to interrupt the author of another person.

  • This negatively affects not only his reputation in literary circles. Do not forget that the use of plagiarism prevents the writer from growing and developing. By not having his own ideas, his way of writing, the author uses material already done, thus depriving himself of the need to work to increase his own potential.

On the other hand, borrowing other people's ideas, using as a basis for later work, the attempt to develop already expressed by another author is nothing more than an impulse to creativity. In the initial stages, this practice is even useful, but it is important that the authors remember that one should not be carried away by its application.

How to know who is a master of plagiarism.

In general, those who already have experience in copying the texts are those who paraphrase said content, which allows them to write many words that do not generate distort the text and allows to attest that they are words and not of the Author . In some cases the most significant phrases and texts of the same, are those that are more controlled and edited, since they are created with the intention of attracting the public and bringing them the subject.

  • Although editing some words of the texts is not very complex, those who do this already steal topics. They have a greater and wider knowledge of the subject, they know how to read and write, as professional editors, who already know that they are creating something that is already created, but they give them a different and complex meaning, without referring to other people and earning the credit .

Advice

Even if they are creating a series of plagiarism, always leave in some place of reading, the name of the author or name of the wep where they got that information, since it is not easy to create content and other people to stay with all the credit.

However, there are ways to work with materials protected by copyright, without violating the rules of scientific ethics. It involves paraphrasing, citing, summarizing and adding links. But always remember to leave some point in favor of where you got this information.
