Use of sources and citation
All academic writing is built on the work of others. By using a source you acknowledge its author, you place your work in an academic context and you help the readers of your work find the sources you have used. Additionally, you demonstrate scientific honesty. Correct use of sources is vital for any master's thesis. It shows that you have a grasp of the central scientific sources of your field, it ensures that the reader and examiner can relocate the sources you have used. Proper use of sources will also ensure that you are not caught plagiarizing. It is your responsibility to familiarize yourself with the rules for correct use of citations. If you break the rules, you may be suspected of attempted cheating.
