WhyCitations Matter....

There are many reasons why it is important to cite the resources that you consult when researching a paper. The most important of these are:

*Gives credit to authors whose works you have used (whether you quote them or not).

*Provides a trail by which others can locate the materials you consulted.

*Provides evidence of your research.

*Properly citing materials is one strategy to help you avoid plagiarizing.
