A citation identifies information you have used in writing your paper. You can cite books, articles, videos, speeches and more. A listing of citations can be called a "bibliography" or "works cited" or simply, "references."
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. Citing sources will help you avoid plagiarism.
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 avoid plagiarism, you must give credit whenever you use:

Type or paste a DOI into the text box. Click Go. Your browser will take you to a Web page (URL) associated with that DOI.
DOI:A digital object identifier (or DOI) is a permanent identifier given to a document, which is not related to its current location. A typical use of a DOI is to give a scientific paper or article a unique identifying number that can be used by anyone to locate details of the paper, and possibly an electronic copy. In this way it functions as a permalink. Unlike the URL system used on the Internet for web pages, the DOI does not change over time, even if the article is relocated (provided the DOI resolution system is updated when the change of location is made).
