2.0 (do not use INTRODUCTION as the first topic here. Introduction is
chapter 1)
Plagiarism is stealing another researcher’s data or work and presenting them as one’s
work. It is a serious offense, and you should give proper credit when it is due. This does
not mean that one should cite everything, which is overkill
Please check each citation for accuracy before use.
Make sure if you copied from any references, all should
be cited. It cannot be just copied; you should give at least
two sentences in your own words to say something about
what you cited. So, it means you should not copy
everything and cite.
