Why Do We Cite Our Sources?
To give credit to the original author
To reference a credible source
So we dont plagiarize


What does Plagiarize Mean?
plagiarize (verb)-
to steal and pass off the ideas or words of another as
one's own : use another's production without crediting
the source (merriam-webster).

Dont be a copy cat! Citing someone elses work
within your essays and projects gives you crediblity.


Citation Creates a Trail
When we cite our sources, we leave a trail so the
reader can locate the exact sources.
The First Part of the Trail
When we give someone elses information, we need
to let our readers know where we got this
information from.

For Example:
On St. Patricks Day, it is estimated that 26.1 billion
pounds of corn beef and 2.3 billion pounds of cabbage
were eaten according to a statistic recorded in 2009
(US Consensus Bureaus).

The Direct Quote Citation: A closer look.


On St. Patricks Day, it is estimated that 26.1 billion
pounds of corn beef and 2.3 billion pounds of
cabbage were eaten according to a statistic recorder
in 2009 (US Census Bureau).

Citation stays
inside the period !
Direct
quotes need
to be in
quotation
marks
Indirect or paraphrased quotes
This means to take someone else's thoughts or data
and incorporating them into your sentences in your
own words.


Example:
St. Patricks day is a day that many Irish-Americans
enjoy a hearty traditional meal. In 2009, Irish-
Americans chowed down on 26.1 billion pounds of
corn beef, and ate 2.3 billion pounds of cabbage (US
Census Bureau).

Even though I
changed the wording,
I still cited where the
