After this workshop, most people in our class probably agree that plagiarism, popularly viewed as taking the easy way out, actually involves  great deal of work. The copying and pasting process itself is effortless, but doing this alone will not produce anything of value. The resulting paragraphs will come out as a garbled mess, not making much sense and certainly not giving the copier any chance of getting a decent grade.

Probably the most important role journals play is that they help with the creation and continuation of knowledge. Most people would agree that journals form the most thorough, complete, and legitimate archive of information in the various major fields. Obviously, the accuracy and quality of the material contained in this archive is of central importance. Peer review ensures that this information will be accurate. Research leads to “compression” of observed phenomenon into compact ideas, in order to better understand the world, and still retain key information. Academic journals are a major medium through which research findings are published.
