As A PHD Student, I accumulate resources that are important such as Power Points and other documents. I have learnt my initiation into academia that it is important to make reference to sources. Is it different with online research?

What are Creative Commons licenses?
Creative Commons (CC) licenses are public licenses. You can use them to indicate what other people are allowed to do with your work. Each work is automatically protected by copyright, which means that others will need to ask permission from you as the copyright owner.
CC licenses let you easily change your copyright terms from the default of “all rights reserved” to “some rights reserved.” They are legal tools to give permission in advance to share and use your work – on conditions of your choice.

No, of course it is not ‘right.’ ( Medhat Elsahookie ) It is plagiarism and probably copyright infringement. Plagiarism is theft of intellectual property: word for word copying; idea for idea paraphrasing; and appropriation of the work of someone else. Copying of any artwork, written piece, blog, or PowerPoint presentation etc. is also copyright infringement as such items are tangible works and are afforded full copyright protection upon their creation. Fair usage allows them to be used in some cases, but academic professionalism and rigour requires that sources be given at all times.
