The Importance of Citations or reference

The university students and the scholars always have to some resources while writing academic essays or reporting on something. Academic students, reporters, authors, scholars, scientists, and so on always want to write their ideas and publish it to the public. They all want their readers to take advantages of their writings, and they want to be effective. While having your ideas written down, they need some more things to support their ideas and points of view. So they will try to take advantages of the other writers or sources. That is to help them be clearer and more specific on their writings. People, the readers, will appreciate this kind of writing, and they will love to hear the new ideas. There is something which is worthy to be mentioned while somebody quotes the other writers’ ideas and pieces of writing. WE NEED TO WRITE THE NAME OF THE BOOK AND THE WRITER WHICH YOU TAKE POINTS AND IDEAS FROM; OTHERWISE IT WILL BE SOMETHING DEVASTATING AND SHAMEFUL WHICH WE CALL, “PLAGIARISM.” I can call it dishonesty of the studentwww.plagiarism.org, “plagiarism is to steal and pass off other (the ideas and words of another) as one’s own. Or it is to commit literary theft.”

We can go online to www.ocrtools.com, and download free OCR Image ASCII Text Desktop Application. Then he talks about how the program is working. He clearly teaches us how to convert an image into a file document.
