    It is important to cite sources for several reasons: to show research was properly conducted, give credit to other authors, and avoid plagiarism. Sources must be cited for facts, ideas, or information that are not common knowledge. Citations uniquely identify published works and consist of author name, title, publication date, and page numbers. There are several citation styles like APA and MLA that differ in formatting but contain the same core components of author, title, source, and publication details. Plagiarism occurs when words or ideas are used without acknowledgement and is considered a serious offense.

    CITING SOURCES

    WHY CITING IS
    IMPORTANT
    It's important to cite sources you used in your
    research for several reasons:
     To show your reader you've done proper research
    by listing sources you used to get your information
     To be a responsible scholar by giving credit to
    other researchers and acknowledging their ideas
    To avoid plagiarism by quoting
    words and ideas used by other
    authors
    To allow your reader to track down the sources
    you used by citing them accurately in your paper
    by way of footnotes, a bibliography or reference
    list
    WHAT TO CITE
    You must cite:
     Facts, figures, ideas, or other
    information that is not common
    knowledge
    Ideas, words, theories, or exact language that
    another person used in other publications

     Publications that must be cited


    include:  books, book chapters,
    articles, web pages, theses, etc.
     Another person's exact words should
    be quoted and cited to show proper
    credit

    body of your text, that you took words, ideas,
    figures, images, etc. from another place.
