Abstract
Problems with Academic Writing Students, researchers, faculty, and LIS professionals alike need to have open conversations about plagiarism. To raise greater awareness about academic misconduct and how to create a successful academic paper without plagiarizing, the issue has been actively debated in academic circles. Evidence-based reasoning, exact word choice, logical arrangement, and an impersonal tone are the hallmarks of academic writing. It is a common means of communication in academic settings across all fields of study. While Plagiarism is the representation of another person's words or ideas as one's own, with or without permission, and without giving proper credit to the original creator. It is either scientific malpractice or academic theft.
