Why Should I Cite Sources?

• All of the answers below.

• Giving credit to the original author by citing sources is the only way to use other people’s work without plagiarizing. 

• Citations are extremely helpful to anyone who wants to find out more about your ideas and where they came from.

• Not all sources are good or right – your own ideas may often be more accurate or interesting than those of your sources.  Proper citation will keep you from taking the rap for someone else’s bad ideas.  

• Citing sources shows the amount of research you’ve done to strengthen your work by lending outside support to your ideas.
