Q4 Citing Your Source Introduction
Introduction
Did you know that when you do research you should be giving credit to the author or authors? This is called citing your source. All quotes and references that you use 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.
