Sagot :
Citing or documenting the sources used in your research serves three purposes: It gives proper credit to the authors of the words or ideas that you incorporated into your paper. 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.
Citing your source of information is a vital part when it comes to writing your own research or any academic journal, as it allows you to give credit to the proper owner and your work won't be tagged as a plagiarized piece.
