Answer:

Works Credited in the Text, under 8.1, Appropriate level of citation, and 8.2 about Plagiarism. In 8.1, this section emphasized how and when to cite our work. Our work should provide an appropriate level of respect and acknowledgment to those writers who provided facts supporting our written paper. There are multiple ways to incorporate or cite the writer's work, such as paraphrasing and direct quotations. The images we download online need the owner's permission. There is one company online named Shutterstock, where they provide thousands of images you can use on your work, but you need to pay a subscription so that you won't be liable to any copyright issues. In connection to this, under 8.2 explicitly interpreted plagiarism and how to prevent self-plagiarism. The American Psychological Association (2020) defines plagiarism as "the act of presenting the words, ideas, or images of another as your own; it denies authors or creators of content the credit they are due" (p. 254). We clearly understand the importance of citing those writers who influence our work from this definition.
