Ethical Scholarship
"Ethical scholarship implies a contract between authors and readers whereby readers assume that the information conveyed by the authors is, to the best of the authors' knowledge, always accurate and complete, and that, unless otherwise noted, any ideas, text, data or other content have not been previously disseminated, either in part or in whole, and represent the authors' own original work." (Roig, M. (2016). Plagiarism (RCR-Basic).
