Citing Sources
You
must always clearly identify the sources that you use in your
research. You do this by including notations throughout your
work that refer to a bibliography of your sources, usually
found at the end of your paper.

If
you neglect to adequately cite your sources, you can be guilty
of plagiarism. This applies
not only to directly quoting an author, but also to summarizing
or paraphrasing someone else's ideas. Citing your sources
gives credit to the author of the original work and allows
your readers to locate the information that you used in your
research.
