Without citing source content is said to be plagiarised.

I can take support from different sources but under a set of rules and one among the rule is citing the source of content..That means if i use someone else’s work it’s my responsibility to support his work by citing the source of the content used.
 
>**Plagiarism is the representation of others’ ideas as one’s own without giving proper attribution to the original author or authors. Plagiarism occurs when a student copies direct phrases from a text (e.g. books, journals, and internet) and does not provide quotation marks or paraphrases or summarizes those ideas without giving credit to the author or authors.**[source](https://www.rit.edu/twc/academicintegrity/what-plagiarism)

If I’ll not mention the source,that means i am against content etiquette and it mounts to <b>plagiarism</b>. Plagiarism is a kind of theft, where content is stolen by someone for his own work without citing source or without mentioning the actual author.And it’s punishable in some of the countries.

With a bit of alterations

Direct copy pasted.

If i use someone else’s work or took assistance from somewhere,i have to cite the source form where i have taken it.We should avoid copy pasting and should try to create our own contents.

If i will cite source to my post it automatically add the value of it.It also helps reader to know more just by clicking on source.It protects me from being accused of **plagiarism.**
