4. Why do we need to cite?
③ Citing your sources consistently and accurately helps
you avoid committing plagiarism in your writing.
Citing or documenting the sources used in your research
serves three purposes:
① It gives proper credit to the authors of the words or
ideas that you incorporated into your paper.
② It allows those who are reading your work to locate
your sources, in order to learn more about the ideas that
you include in your paper.
