How to Cite Sources

Features How to Cite Sources

When you paraphrase or quote information from another source in a research paper, essay, or other written work, cite the original source of the information.
Otherwise, your readers believe you are trying to pass this information off as your original thought.
Proper citation adds credibility to your work and provides evidence to support any arguments you make.
Your citations also give your readers the opportunity to further explore the topic of your work on their own.[
