Q4 Citing Your Source: Introduction
Introduction
Did you know you should credit the author or authors when researching? This is called citing your source. All quotes and references in a presentation or paper must be cited. Remember in Be Legal and Fair in Thing 7 how you learned about copyright and how important it is not to plagiarize?
Many databases provide you with citation tools. All of the mel.org databases have tools to help you cite your source.
If you find your source does not have a citation maker, there are many online citation makers to help you.
