If you use someone else's work, then that person's work should be acknowledged. If you use a particular document to determine a conclusion, then you must site that record as a source.<br />Other serious researchers judge the quality of material by checking up on sources, verifying results and by determining the value or quality of those sources used.<br />If someone I show my work to publishes it without acknowledging my efforts and his/her indebtedness to them, then, yes, he/she has stolen my work.Canadian Book Ladyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13135033266703528684noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1527613590529958801.post-74441564748853301922009-08-25T13:22:45.999-07:002009-08-25T13:22:45.999-07:00If it was random information found lying in a box ...If it was random information found lying in a box I could understand your argument. But if it is information you have spent time and money gathering, carefully, checking evidence and making a note of sources etc. I can understand why people might be wary about releasing it to all and sundry! I don't like sharing my carefully gathered information with "name collectors", but if someone is a serious, and interested I have no problem in helping them out.Sean Knoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1527613590529958801.post-27788130295285593622009-08-25T10:02:09.418-07:002009-08-25T10:02:09.418-07:00It sounds kind of selfish to me.
