Why do I need to cite my sources?
Answer
Citing sources is an important part of any project you do.
You cite sources:
- to give credit to those whose ideas, images, and/or words you used.
- to tell your reader what source you used and how to find it.
- to avoid plagiarism.
For help citing your sources, visit the Citation Help page of the library website.
If you need further help, contact a librarian.
