LECTURE #2

CITING SOURCES
If you borrow ideas from a source, you must acknowledge it or give credit to it. You cite the source by writing it down in the
bibliography.

It is important to cite sources for several reasons:


 To show your reader you've done proper research
 To avoid plagiarism by quoting words and ideas used by authors
 To allow your readers to track down the sources you used

PLAGIARISM
Presenting work or ideas from another source as your own, with or without consent of the original author, by incorporating
it into your work without full acknowledgement.

BIBLIOGRAPHY
A bibliography is a list of all the different sources that you used for support of your topic. It contains a list of books or
articles, or both, relating to a particular subject. In a research paper, a bibliography is an alphabetical list, sometimes grouped into
categories, containing the names of all works quoted from or generally used in its preparation. Bibliographical items should be
arranged correctly and consistently.
