Why is it important to cite sources?
I have been published in four academic journals, won publishing awards, been on the Globe and Mail Bestsellers list and compiled a myriad of community awards for education and community service. And yet, I don't know everything.
This is a working document. I will still cite/source within the text I am speaking; but here will be where all things are combined and bulleted and kept for your guide. Keep in mind; it's important to cite sources you used in your research for several reasons:
- To show your reader you've done proper research by listing sources you used to get your information
- To be a responsible scholar by giving credit to other researchers and acknowledging their ideas
- To avoid plagiarism by quoting words and ideas used by other authors
- To allow your reader to track down the sources you used by citing them accurately in your paper by way of footnotes, a bibliography or reference list
