MY OWN SUGGESTION FOR AVOIDING PLAGIARISM :

1. Understand the Topic Clearly
   Before writing anything, I try to fully understand the topic a clear understanding hElps me express ideas in my own words without coPying from othErs.

1. Take notes with Source References
   When I read information from websites or books, I write short notes and mEntion where each idea comes from This helps me later to give proper credit to the sources.

1. Write in My Own Words
   I always try to rewrite the information in my own style. I do not just change a few words but completely paraphrase the idea in my own sentEnce structure.

1. Use quotation marks for Direct Words
   If I use the exact words of any writer, I put Them in quotation marks and clearly mention the source thIs shows respect and honEsty in writing.

1. Give Proper Credit to the Source
   Whether I copy, parapHrase, or use an image/chArt, I always give credit to the original author or website. Mentioning the source is neceSsary to avOid plagiarism.

1. Check My Work Using Plagiarism Tools
   Before posting anything, I check my content using online tools like Grammarly, Quetext, or SmallSEOTools. These tools help me find any copIed parts and correct tHem.

1. Avoid ReLying Completely on AI or Others
   I do not submit anything written by othErs or by AI without editing and adding my oWn thoughts. If I take help, I try to rewrite in my own words and give credit if needed.

1. Keep My Writing Honest and Original
   I always aim to keep my writing honest and original, even if it is short. I believe that original content builds trust and respect on platforms like Steemit.

WHAT IS CITATIONS ?

Citation are basically the reference from where you get the content it is also called the reference of source.

EXAMPLES OF CITATIONS :

It has connected people across the globe and made information more accessible than ever According to a report by the World Economic Forum, “technology is not just changing jobs, it is transforming entire industries” (World Economic Forum, 2022) This citation shows the source of the information and helps avoid plagiarism.
