 Why Cite? Citing your sources may seem tedious, but it's important to cite because:

• Citations allow others to find the information you used in your research paper.
• Citations help establish the credibility of your research.
• Citations acknowledge the work of other scholars who have made your own research possible.
• Citations help you avoid plagiarizing!
