Question to you
In the image, you see the beautiful reflection of the trees in the wavy water.
Does it constitute copying from Mother Nature?
Can Mother Nature have copyrights?
Do you know the secret of copying?
“Copy from one, it’s plagiarism,
Copy from two, it’s research”
Unknown
There is some confusion as to the author of the quote.
To copy or not to copy
It is an age-old topic for students in schools and universities.
According to my understanding, ‘research’ is simply the accumulation of knowledge from multiple sources.
This method is sure to broaden your understanding and you are in a better position to progress in your own way.
Once you have accumulated a broad picture through your synthesis of various studies, you are in a position to ascertain your explorations and make a conclusion.
✔But still don’t you think it comes under Plagiarism?
✔Suppose attribution is given…is this still OK? (at least one is frank, is it not so?)
The above are my doubts and you can help me clear the same.
Is the internet encouraging Plagiarism?
Have you come across your blog posts undergoing ‘Copy & paste’ in some other blogs without being given any due credits?
Do you get aggrieved and take action or simply ignore it?
What are your thoughts on this subject?

Nice edit, I like the wiggly symmetry. I don’t think I’ve ever spotted any images from my blog elsewhere, but I’m happy for people to use them, assuming I’m given credit.

Thank you, Dale Cooper for your thoughts and inspiration and encouraging words.
Agree.
Least they can do is to give credit to the original author.

Copying my blog without proper credit is theft and plagiarism. Its also disrespectful. As an academic, I try to practice good referencing and hopefully act as a role model for others

It is important to understand the distinction between copying and research, and to give credit where credit is due. The internet has made it easier to access information, but it has also made it easier for plagiarism to occur.

Very well said.
One must be reasonable and gracious enough to give credit where it is due.
It’s just good manners.
I don’t understand why some people behave differently.
Thank you very much.
