Citing Sources:
- Allows you to acknowledge your source and the author of the original concept.
- Ensures that you are not plagiarizing or claiming someone else's original idea as your own idea.
- Shows the careful work you have put into finding good sources.
- Helps the reader understand the context of your research and locate other sources that might be of interest to him or her.
