Why do I need citations for all my sources?

Last Updated: Jan 15, 2019 Views: 141 0 0 Topics: APA Style MLA

Whenever a direct quote or an argument is taken from a source, it should be acknowledged. This is the way to let the readers know what is your own idea and what has been built upon another person's idea.
Also, not citing your sources would categorize your work under plagiarism. To avoid this, you must always cite your sources and references.
