RE: CONFUSED??????

in #life6 years ago (edited)

First problem is you’re plagiarizing - I just checked your sleep post and I found at least 2 paragraphs (didn’t check the rest) that is direct plagiarism from here https://www.uptodate.com/contents/insufficient-sleep-definition-epidemiology-and-adverse-outcomes#H17396927

That doesn’t fly here.

Second problem is new Steemians see the trending page and payouts and that is just a lie. Don't measure your success against that.

It takes time and patience and community to succeed here along with actual quality non-plagiarized posts.

If you haven't checked out the discords start there and find some mentors to teach you. Best of luck!

uptodate is the professional references for the doctors . i just cant write on my own. i need data and genuine sources. some portions are from my text book. what do you suggest. if i am writing about the diseases i need facts and data and definitions. but i will try to present it in a way that general people can understand them. you should follow me you will really get useful information about the human health.

I too write in the health space. And yes! It's great to use pubmed and professional references for doctors to impart correct information that is backed by science. But, if you do that, you have to use it as a quote and then cite the source. Just like if you are writing a paper for college. If you don't cite your sources you will end up getting pinged by @cheetah or @submarine.

In addition - you won't have the opportunity to get a @curie vote.

Next issue is that you will need to use photos that are open source and cite where you got those as well. You can find more information about photo sourcing here. https://steemit.com/steemit/@bluefinstudios/copyright-plagiarism-and-fair-use

I will definitely be following you! I love all things health and teaching others to take back their health. Feel free to DM me on Discord (same as steemit username) if you have any questions.

Best of Luck! I'll be reading along.

thanks i will keep this in mind

Infact, you can reference your source.. the only problem arises when you don't reference.. that's when it will be taking as plagiarism.

THANKS

You are welcome
