We cite sources for several reasons:
To cite your references properly, you must track the following information for all your resources:
Padilla, PB, & Nogales M. (2009). Behavior of Kestrels Feeding on Frugivorious Lizards: Implications for Food Dispersal. Behavioral Ecology, 20(4), 872-877. DOI (if applicable).
Properly cite your sources. As you collect information for your project or paper, clearly note where your ideas are coming from. When you read books and articles, paraphrase the ideas in your own words to demonstrate your understanding of the original concepts. Use quotation marks when repeating others' words.
Follow the 26 Guidelines at a Glance on Avoiding Plagiarism from the U.S. Office of Research Integrity.
