  2. Citing Sources • What is it? • Giving credit to the author(s) of the sources you use to write a paper • Why do I have to do it? • If you don’t, it’s plagiarism • People make their living writing and publishing; if you do not give them credit, you are essentially stealing

  3. Citing Sources • When do I have to add a parenthetical citation? • For the outline, you need a citation at the end of every line that came from one of your sources • All of my information is from my sources! Is there anything I don’t have to cite? • Your attention grabber • Your thesis statement • Your conclusion

  4. Citing Sources • Does that mean that almost every line must have a parenthetical citation? • YES! In the paper you will take out some of them, but in the outline, just about every line will need a citation • How do I format my parenthetical citations? • Examples on the next few slides
