Drafting your paper

Every scientific work is based on the study of trustworthy sources of information, as we have seen so far. As a consequence, a work is considered of scientific value if it clearly indicates its sources. 

In addition to this, if you include others ideas in your work without full acknowledgment, you are stealing someone else’s intellectual property and this is punishable by law in most of the countries, as it is considered a crime, called plagiarism.

There are many programs that can check the presence of plagiarism and most universities use them. 

Don’t forget that materials found on the Internet are also protected by copyright laws and must be properly cited and acknowledged.
