What do you know about citations and why do we use them?

​Why do we use citations?

Citing makes your work more credible.
Citing tells your reader where you found your information.
Citing allows your reader to learn more, beginning with your sources. Citing gives credit to the people whose words or ideas you are using.

Plagiarism

Plagiarism is presenting the words or ideas of someone else as your own without proper acknowledgment of the source. When you work on a research paper and use supporting material from works by others, it's okay to quote people and use their ideas, but you do need to correctly credit them. Even when you summarize or paraphrase information found in books, articles, or Web pages, you must acknowledge the original author.
