Why Cite Sources | Online Resources | Print Resources | xu.tutor
Whenever you quote or base your ideas on another person's work, you must document the source you used. Even when you do not quote directly from another work, if you base the ideas presented in your paper on that work, you must give the authors proper credit.
Citations provide evidence for your arguments and add credibility to your work by demonstrating that you have sought out and considered a variety of resources. In written academic work, citing sources is standard practice and shows that you are responding to this person, agreeing with that person, and adding something of your own. Think of documenting your sources as providing a trail for your reader to follow to see the research you performed and discover what led you to your original contribution.1
