Features: Do you need to be honest while learning? Why can't you use correction fluid in your lab notebook? How can you distinguish your own words from others' in your notes? Why is the publication date particularly important in some citations? How do you cite online electronic files or unpublished papers? Are references mandatory? Can you buy papers from the internet? How can you truly respect others' research achievements? These are questions that students from freshman year to PhDs and professors must answer. This book discusses how to be "honest" during the learning process and cultivate the habit of "honesty," take responsibility for your own studies, and minimize the occurrence of plagiarism. The authors believe that proper citation is the only way to academic honesty. This book is a valuable resource for students from freshman year to professors and is worth reading. Since its publication, it has received widespread acclaim. The University of Chicago, McGill University in Montreal, Canada, and many other colleges and universities in the United States and Canada have recommended it to new students, listing it as a required reading. The theme of the book is simple: it guides researchers (from freshmen to professors) on how to prepare "citations" legally and effectively to avoid plagiarism and academic fraud, thereby achieving true academic success. Professor Lipson summarizes the core of this matter as "academic integrity." The book is divided into two parts. The first part discusses the intentional or unintentional fraud and plagiarism commonly found in university research and teaching. The authors list various forms of fraud and plagiarism, provide criteria for determining whether an act is fraudulent or plagiaristic, and analyze the reasons behind these tragic phenomena, thereby highlighting the importance of academic integrity and introducing the main method of avoiding academic fraud and plagiarism—citations. The second part details the requirements of specific disciplines (humanities, social sciences, education, engineering, business, biology, medicine and nursing, chemistry, physics, astrophysics, astronomy, mathematics, and computer science) and provides an in-depth explanation of the main citation rules commonly used in universities in the United States, accompanied by numerous citation examples, making it easy for readers to understand at a glance.
