I copied a lot of research that I need for the topic for my book.
Interesting. What is the story that you are going to write about?
It is a secret.
That is fine if you do not want to tell me. I do have to applaud you though, as it is good that you are doing your research before writing the book.
Yeah. But I don't know how to give proper citable references in a book. Do you?
No but I am sure they are resources out there that can help you use the research you copied appropriately. Good luck with the book, it seems like you have a good start by doing your research first.
