In this workshop, we will cover several key aspects related to the effective integration of graphs and images within a research manuscript. The session will begin with a brief overview of the ideal structure for incorporating graphical elements into your work, emphasizing its benefits from an editorial perspective. Following this, we will provide step-by-step guidance on preparing both Microsoft Word and Microsoft PowerPoint for the inclusion of high-resolution images while ensuring the preservation of their DPI (dots per inch) during the transfer process between software platforms. Microsoft PowerPoint will serve as our primary platform for demonstrating simple yet effective techniques for seamlessly integrating images, particularly for graphical abstract design. Furthermore, we will delve into the standard procedure for obtaining copyright permissions via RightsLink to legally reuse published images in your research manuscript. In the final segment of the workshop, we will introduce participants to the powerful freeware tool, Paint.NET, which is invaluable for image editing purposes. Through a hands-on tutorial, we will explore image overlay techniques and the process of creating time-lapsed images, providing attendees with practical skills to enhance their graphical content

Plagiarism and Copyright are often confused, but they are distinct concepts with different legal and ethical implications.
Plagiarism is the act of presenting someone else's work, ideas, or words as one's own without proper attribution. It is primarily an ethical issue, commonly addressed in academic fields. Consequences of plagiarism include reputational damage, academic penalties, and professional consequences.
Copyright, on the other hand, is a legal violation that occurs when someone uses copyrighted material without permission from the copyright holder. Copyright protects original works of authorship, such as thesis, books, music, films, and artworks, granting the creator exclusive rights to reproduce, distribute, and display their work.
In short, plagiarism concerns ethical responsibility and proper attribution, while copyright infringement involves legal rights and permissions.
By understanding the differences between Plagiarism and Copyright, you can protect both the integrity of your research and your rights as an author.
