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.
