Why do I need to cite my sources?

Whenever you summarize, paraphrase, or quote the work of another , you are required to cite the source.  Citing the source gives credit to the author of the original work.  With the copyright law, the information belongs to the person who created it.

What is a citation?

A citation is the reference to the source/author of the  idea, information, or image.
