All of these news reports tell the same story: educated people who became leaders
in their fields, then lost their jobs. They had to quit their jobs because of plagiarism.
Plagiarism is a serious academic offense and people regard a plagiarist as a
dishonourable person. The problem of plagiarism is everywhere, but the solution is
easy: to avoid plagiarism, just use the citation system. The citation system involves
showing the name of the person who wrote the words or ideas, along with the date
they were published. This citation must be supported by a full reference in the
reference list, showing complete publication data so that an interested reader can
find the original text.
