Academic Writing and Academic Honesty

What is the essence of academic writing?

Why should I quote and cite when I write an academic text?

There is, when writing academic texts, a standardized and consistent way of how to construct references for texts and sources that you've been using. When writing an academic text you must be very careful to distinguish your own text from the parts that you have gathered from others'. To do that you need to use a referencing system (for example Harvard) with references within the text as well as a bibliography at the end. The correct use of a referencing system is not only a question of academic writing but also a part of academic honesty and conduct.
