You have mentioned wonderful points here and these are essential points/tips.
For the aspect of citation, I remember taking down a lost of over 75 books/articles and encyclopedia I consulted for my second degree Thesis 😅😅 all in the bid to be original and avoid plagiarism. If we all learn to bring back that school mindset where we cite properly, there will be reduction of plagiarism cases.
Well, it may not also go well because some people still plagiarise in schools 😅
Wonderful post you've written ❤
