What is research?

Back Back to About Plagiarism

Research is an active process of learning from others. As we research, we read, borrow, and synthesize ideas and facts from others. As researchers, however, we must credit these sources of ideas, facts, and specific language for two important reasons: First, we acknowledge the people from whom we learned, and second, we create a record of sources so that researchers who follow us can build on our work.
