In both Brazilian and American academic and journalistic cultures, properly attributing sources is fundamental to credibility and ethics. In Brazil, academic writing emphasizes proper attribution through ABNT or NBR standards. In the USA, MLA, APA, and Chicago styles govern attribution. Failing to attribute sources is considered plagiarism in both contexts and carries serious professional and academic consequences.
