Science Buddies: "Ask an Expert"

Is it considered plagiarism if one further investigates on a study by another individual?
like using their research as the basis of my research
I want to use a technique that another used and apply it to my project.

Hi,
You can use someone else's work as a reference for your own work. You just have to make sure you cite their work when you are presenting yours.
Hope this helps!
