Citing

Citing Sources - Snippet You must cite your sources whenever you use someone else's words, images, or ideas to give that person credit for his/her intellectual property. Citing sources is also necessary so the reader can find the information you used in your research. Plagiarism occurs when you use someone else's intellectual property without properly crediting them, and it is a serious offense. Always cite your sources whether you quote or paraphrase. To learn more about plagiarism and how to avoid it, check out Highline Library's Plagiarism Tutorial or this tutorial on What Every Student Needs to Know about Plagiarism.
