This companion volume (exercise book) to the main volume Scientific work through plagiarism-free deduction contains questions and answers on the main volume, with which the pupils/students/postgraduates can decisively deepen and consolidate what they have learned about scientific work. The respective answer follows directly after the question, so the answer should be covered first. If the question is not answered correctly according to one's own assessment, it is noted on a list and repeated in the next round.
Plagiarism is the unlawful appropriation of someone else's thoughts, ideas, etc. in a scientific or artistic field and their publication without citing them. This constitutes theft of intellectual property. Plagiarism usually violates examination regulations and employment contracts. In the Merkel era, numerous ministers fell victim to socalled plagiarism hunters. Plagiarism hunters are appraisers who go in search of plagiarism – often for a fee from interested parties.
Anyone who acquires academic degrees through plagiarism and later acquires a prominent professional position makes themselves vulnerable to plagiarism hunters. Many blame the author of the scientific work for the plagiarism. According to the view represented here, the supervising professors are at least partly to blame, because they should have taught and controlled plagiarism-free writing better. This book is a guide to plagiarism-free scientific work through deduction (= reasoning), which is written in the style of a scientific work for illustration purposes. For there are many books on scientific work, but only this one is on scientific work through plagiarism-free deduction.

The 9 unique selling points of this work are:

1. Instructions of a deductive writing style,
2. Instructions of methodological work,
3. Instructions of plagiarism-free writing,
4. Instructions of EDP-technical implementation,
5. Instructions of the (German) tax deductibility of training costs,
6. Instructions of Albert Einstein as an ingenious ideal,
7. Instructions of the goal of scientific work,
8. Instructions of the creation of scientific attention and
9. Exercise book.

Zielgruppe

The knowledge of plagiarism-free writing is important for pupils, students of any discipline who are writing a seminar, bachelor's or master's thesis, as well as doctoral candidates.

Leseproben

This companion volume (exercise book) to the main volume Scientific work through plagiarism-free deduction
contains questions and answers on the main volume, with which the pupils/students/postgraduates
can decisively deepen and consolidate what they have learned about scientific work. The respective answer
follows directly after the question, so the answer should be covered first. If the question is not answered
correctly according to one’s own assessment, it is noted on a list and repeated in the next round.
After many decades of scientific writing and years of lectures on scientific writing, the author of this work
(textbook and exercise book) sees his task in presenting a guide to plagiarism-free scientific work by deduction
(= reasoning), which is written in the style of a scientific work for illustration purposes. Because there
are many books on scientific work, but only this one on scientific work through plagiarism-free deduction.
The nine special features of this book (unique selling points) are:
1. teaching of a deductive style of writing,
2. teaching of methodological work,
3. teaching of plagiarism-free writing,
4. teaching of IT implementation of the scientific work,
5. teaching of the (German) tax deductibility of training costs,
6. teaching of Albert Einstein as a inginious example,
7. teaching the aim of scientific work,
8. teaching the creation of scientific attention and
9. exercise book.
Therefore, the central question arises as to how through plagiarism-free deduction (= reasoning) it can
be written scientifically. The danger of realizing plagiarism is greatest when someone produces a purely
text-scientific work and is not guided by their own red thread, but by someone else’s texts. However, if
scientific methods are used, the risk of plagiarism is minimal, because the red thread is determined by these
methods.
The scientific work is characterized in particular by a scientific-deductive structure and style of writing,
in which each statement is deducted (= reasoned) from the previous one. With respect to plagiarism-free
quotation, it is particularly important to note that direct (literal) quotations are started and ended with
quotation marks and the footnote begins - without the prefix “Cf.” or “S.” - directly with the surname of the
quoted author, while indirect (corresponding) quotations are started and ended without quotation marks
and the footnote begins with “Cf.” or “S.”. In the case of tables and figures in the text, the reference to the
source begins with “Source ...”. In this way, trough plagiarism-free deduction (= reasoning) it can be written
scientifically, by either following one’s own red thread scientifically in compliance with the citation rules or
by following a scientific methodology of one’s own subject area.
