چکیده

When working on a project or a thesis, one may, at times, feel as if one is working alone in isolation. This may be true for various reasons, but ought not to be the case, unless you are working on a PhD thesis when you have to demonstrate you have what it takes to go at least one whole turn through the knowledge creation spiral1. What certainly holds, is that • the topic of your project or thesis does not exist in isolation, and • you are not set out to work so as to reinvent the wheel. Put differently: you are building upon other people’s contributions. That is how science and engineering move forward. Building upon other people’s results entails that you are aware what they did and understand the pros and cons of those earlier proposals. This must be reflected in the article or thesis you are or will be writing. In this document, we focus on how to go about giving credit where credit is due; not doing so amounts to plagiarism, which is the sin of sins in academia. If you plagiarise during your thesis writing, you will be reprimanded officially, if you have done so in your thesis and it is found out after graduation, your degree will be revoked, if you do it as a scientist, you will fired.
