qqp question1: I have submitted some of my unpublished PhD work to a prominent professor, now I have noticed that he has plagiarised my work, what can I do? question2: I have a well formed idea of research (basically a proposal) for PhD. I also have list of professors working in this field. What should I write in my first mail to the potential supervisors, especially when I would need to offer my services as research assistant to finance my research?
