Abstract :
Fundamental components of scientific writing
are accuracy, integrity, clarity and conciseness.
Good scientifi c writing is represented by clearness,
concise expression, accuracy of the report, and most
importantly, honesty.[1] Academic honesty means
that the work scientist submits, in whatever form, is
original. However, one of the most common ways of
compromising the academic integrity of the author and
most widely recognized unethical lapse is plagiarism.[1]
As there are no universal regulations on plagiarism
prevention, it is important to cite references correctly.
Citing materials that author has referred to correctly
enables to avoid plagiarism and in the same time, to
follow ethical, moral, and legal regulations acceptable
by scientifi c community.
