RE: It's Not Even An Issue Of Copy/Paste; "How About You, Create Something That Nations Of The World Seek To Copy/Paste?"

in #steemit7 years ago

Hi sir. Once again thank you for sharing a valueable post. This is very important as I have seen some people being flagged or downvoted until their rep hit rock bottom which is very saddening. Plagiarism is a very important issue in every topic, especially in the STEM category. No matter how good your summary is if you didn't cite your sources that's already plagiarism. And plagiarism is very much synonymous to stealing. Personally, I think that the platform is being lenient in the issue of citing the sources. Authors just needed to put a link or type the source somewhere in the post, we didn't even need to do some tedious formatting in the citations. Just don't be lazy and the most important thing is to learn from our mistakes. Don't blog for money, blog for the readers. Tens of minnow votes are not comparable to a single whale vote. But who knows, in time maybe 1 or 2 of those minnows will become whales and if they are following you... That's pure awesomeness. Haha! Again, thank you very much sir for sharing! Always stay healthy to write more of these :D
