2010). Its even possible for a writer to plagiarize himself, if he uses prior work of his own but doesnt quote it (Kopf, 2010). Thats because once an author has
published a work, the content belongs to the publisher (Kopf, 2010). "If writers wish to reuse published content, they must properly cite what now belongs to another entity" (Kopf, 2010).

a person doesnt do their own research or work, they are robbing themselves of the rich experience of learning how to learn. Anyone can copy another, but finding material and
