Doctoral Learners

I’m studying for my Psychology class and don’t understand how to answer this. Can you help me study?

Doctoral learners becoming researcher/scholars must be able to produce original, written academic works and to evaluate the calibre and originality of their writing and the writing of others. At the same time, all research has its foundation in other research. How can you as a doctoral level researcher balance producing your own original research with recognizing and crediting the works you use as your research foundation? 300-350 words
