Why
cite?
Once
you've found information and created a report or presentation,
you will need to cite the sources you used.
When you use another’s words or ideas, you must acknowledge
that person’s work by showing within the body of
your text that you took sentences/ideas/figures from another
place.
This
includes text or ideas taken from an article, report, book,
electronic database, or website.
How
are citations done?
Style manuals give guidelines for formating citations. Check
with your instructor about which citation style to use.
