Respect the academic community by reading, referencing and building on other's work

Research is a social activity as well as an intellectual one, done by a group as well as people alone. The group is the academic community, and the research method is its culture. In this community members resolve disagreements not by conflict, but by appeals to physical world data, i. e. to research. The research method describes in detail how to do this. Academics may disagree about ideas but agree to abide by research results. Critical to this community is respect, and one respects research colleagues by reading and quoting their research. To ignore other's work, or to plagiarize it, disrespects the academic community.
