Starting my senior year of high school, I really began learning the importance of citing your sources. It became even more important in college because of all of the research papers you have to write. Citing your sources is very important because it shows where you got your information from, and you aren’t claiming it as your own ideas or work. I believe it is very important to give credit by citing your sources. Someone, depending on where you got the article, worked very hard on writing and doing research themselves to find that information and put together a journal, magazine, or newspaper article, and they deserve the credit. Having a citation page also allows your professors to go to the certain website you got your information from, and make sure you aren’t making it up. Here is a good website to use if you need help citing sources! http://owl.english.purdue.edu/
