Academic Writing Discussion

In this world of technology and information, we have more than enough resources for our research papers. The only problem is finding the right sources of information in the clutter of information presented to us. We can quote many scholars, authors, writers, magazines, newspapers, etc, but this will not constitute or bring about our own knowledge in the subject matter. When we are presented with this kind of information we often lose our own take on the subject being discuss or for this matter the research paper. 

For a research paper to be strong the sources of information which we collect it from must be authentic, reliable and factual. So, for this we cannot take information from any website, magazines, podcast but our sources should come from known book, articles. 

Books and articles are some of the main source for research papers but we should must also be aware of Plagiarism which means taking someone's else work and not giving credit. It is not that we cannot use someone's else work but in doing so we should also remember to cite the authors last name and the date.
