Niklas and Clay give their perspectives on plagiarism, information dumping and the struggles academic writers need to go through. There is a lot of information available to research students and professional researchers, and knowing how to avoid plagiarism, but also boring your reader with information dumping requires a bit of learning and skill development. The conversation touches on how different educational backgrounds and academic institutions may lead to widely different understandings of citations and referencing, but also the importance of developing an analytical mind as a researcher and writer.
