These tenets will, in the case of claims of plagiarism, help protect you from any litigations, and honor the source from which the information is taken. History may have happened independently of our involvement, but the fact that what little we do know of it is known to us at all is the result of somebody’s hard work and effort. Remember, plagiarism is theft.
