Plagiarism...
The word intimidates me, it sounded like a contagious disease; but I rolled with it.
I understood the relevance of it, dealt with the APA of it, and had been bothered by it.
UNTIL...
One sunny English afternoon my wife discovered that she had been cited in a text book she had just purchased!
My perspective changing moment come when I saw the expression on her face when she said...
"They got the spelling right"
Hey, people we cite have lives, husbands, wives, and lives.
Most of then worked hard to get pubd,
and they could be you in the future.
So...
Cheers to being citized!

Edward that is a great perspective on the importance of citation! Especially when someone works so hard to contribute in their field and with their research. That must have been very rewarding and validating for your wife!
