Scientific work can be a synthesis of discoveries on a topic and its interpretation,  and evaluation of such discoveries. It must be original, it can be based on several sources, as long as they are explicitly recognized, and it belongs to the scientific and academic community, while showing that the researcher belongs to that community (insofar as he accepts the rules and procedures to investigate). Here we insist on what cannot be an academic work. Taking into account the contemporary problem of plagiarism, in journalism, but also in the university community (the ease of which in all areas is undeniable thanks to ICT), we recall the summaries, repetitions of ideas, quotes, personal opinions and Unrecognized copies are plagiarism, not academic research.

The research process consists of two main parts: 

• The elaboration of the project.
• The realization of the research.
