In the first module of my MSc study, i was asked to acknowledge and write an article regarding Referencing and Citation in academic study. One sentence drew my attention where (Bowden, 1996) refereed to “Some non-western cultures have historically placed emphasis on communal knowledge and showing respect through imitation.” which motivated me to search for Referencing and Citation roots in my culture. First of all i was searching in the Ancient Egypt culture, but i did not find anything. Then, when i researched on the Islamic culture,and I found what i was looking for.
