On the other hand, when you mention information that is commonly known, generic, and accessible, the accusation of plagiarism does not hold true. There's no need to identify the source of your knowledge if you gathered it from a variety of sources or if your readers are likely already aware of it.

An easy to slip into trap

Let me first try to calm you down a little: It's quite acceptable to conduct research on existing materials when writing an article or creating content for the web. In fact, it's a step that must be taken before writing. Unless you are already an authority on your subject, you will require sources.

However, because there is so much information out there, it can occasionally seem as though nothing new needs to be said or that the conversation has already been covered in great detail. Additionally, there are only so many topics available based on your niche.

As a result, some of your content will always be based on previous works by other authors. In fact, The Skyscraper Technique does this on purpose by stealing content from other people and improving it immeasurably.
