Plagiarism
Proper credit must be expressed by quoting or using the work of other scholars by citing them and enlisting their works in the reference section. The style of citation may vary from series to series. The verbatim quotation is strongly discouraged as it can be easily detected through similar software such as Turnitin. A better quotation should contain not only a piece of the idea embodied in a specific work or a simple paraphrase but also be composed in a thoughtful and interpretative manner.
Quoting from community-based sources is also discouraged as their authorships can be challenged and do not reflect authenticity.
