Why Should We Use Citations?

Why Do We Need to Cite Sources for Papers or Presentations?

We need to acknowledge another person's work and ideas and give him credit.
You have more credibility because your paper shows you reviewed, evaluated, and selected sources during the research process
You avoid plagiarism.
Your sources are easier to find. Readers can find the sources you used.

How Do You Incorporate Sources Within Your Paper or Presentation?

Quoting-Copy a short passage word for word, set off by quotation marks.
Summarizing--Restate the main ideas in your own words which is shorter than the origiinal
Paraphrasing--Take an idea and put it in your own words.
