In reply to Saint.Procrastination:
I think the idea is to gauge your own involvement, not someone elses. Never were Tom Lehrer's lyrics more apposite:
"Plagiarize. Let no one else's work evade your eyes; remember why the good Lord made your eyes. Don't shade your eyes, but plagiarize, plagiarize, plagiarize. Only be sure always to call it please "research"."
